But why is a 15" laptop ranked over the Surface?

Poor sales.

Then why is Wii U #2?

Hey-o!

Because it doesn't have Apple's name on it.

iPhone, the Call of Duty of electronics

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Personally, I would've liked to see the Surface higher as well.

You know, now that I think about it, maybe it's because it's not the Surface Pro. I really want to believe they would have ranked the Pro model higher.

Because it is an apple product hence higher lol.

On topic, whether we agree with the list or not doesn't really matter. The real question is how much pull does Time have with consumers buying electronics?

Now that the WiiU is no2 will the rich go out and buy these for their kids? Or is this an article people jsut glance over.

I laugh at the iPhone, but happy to see the WiiU up there.

Also most impressed with the Raspberry Pi as well, it's a nifty piece of kit (I have one).

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Surprised the iPhone 5 was number 1. Considering its about the same thing as the 4s which was about the same thing as the 4 which was the same thing as... You can get the rest. Apple has not made much of any progress in their phones since the 1st iphone. They always just release something for the sake of releasing something and people seem to just eat it up... Quite sad really as there are much better alternatives to every single one of their products.

I guess you haven't even touched or played with an iphone if you think that..

iphone 3gs was a major up from iphone / 3g and iphone 4 was a major overhaul for iphone as well

iphone 5 was a pretty big improvement too.. just not as big as the first two

I don't think this does anything for the big name stuff people know about, like the Wii U, Surface, or the Apple products. The people who are interested in those already know about them. The other items, however, will probably see a boost. Even Sony's camera will possibly see gains from having its awareness level raised.

Glad to see Galaxy Note II and Wii U is on the list. The Samsung SIII sold massive amounts, but I'm not sure if the Note II had toppled it yet or not. Both are relatively new.

I'm not sure why iPhone5 is topping the list, other than the 'bling'/popularity factor. Kudos to Apple I guess...
