Which Laptop Should I Buy 2014: US & Canada

I have been a proud member of Amazon Associate program starting this summer. The reason I joined this program is simple - I was using Amazon to order goods for myself. I was into looking to buy a new HP laptop for myself - and decided to compare best selling HP laptops on Amazon.. And then it started - I found a laptop market damn interesting,so I started to review best selling, popular and useful laptops. 

It has been around 5 month since I started, and dooring this time - laptop sales from my blog has sky-rocketed, in total I have helped to sell more than 300 items during these months. Laptops accounts for some 80% of total share.

At this time of a year I have decided to unveil which laptops were the most popular buyers choice from my blog - and maybe it might help you to make your decision on buying a new one.

Please note those items are available for sale on Amazon, by clicking on links on this page and by making a purchase on Amazon site, I will earn an affiliate income from that.
