Newegg US-based – The Best Online Computer Store
Visit StoreNewegg is an online retailer that sells everything you need when it comes to computers. This store has a vast number of computers and components for sale, giving its customers thousands of options. When browsing, you can choose from a lot of different filters to narrow down the selection for your specific needs. You can, for instance, filter the computers by the type of CPU, RAM, graphics card, and other things, like SSD storage and form factor. The selection includes thousands of new computers, in addition to lots of refurbished ones, too.
The reason Newegg has one of the best computer selections online is that they allow other sellers to put their items up for sale here, too. You can use the filters to show only items sold by Newegg themselves. That will limit the selection by a lot, though.

Amazon offers a number of products at different price points, so you’re sure to find something within your budget. While the selection is massive, it’s hard to know exactly how many products are in each category since accessories or unrelated items sometimes show up in search results.

About This List
We have used Google Trends to measure search popularity and we’ve gotten the Instagram follower count straight from Instagram itself.
The popularity measures (green meters) are all relative to each other. This means that there will always be one store in these lists that have 100% search popularity and 100% Instagram popularity. The lesser popular stores will have a percentage of that.
Keep in mind that one exponentially more popular store can make other really popular stores look like they are not. They still are – just not in comparison with that one.
The price meters are also relative. All meters start from 0 on the left-hand side.
To select these stores, we also looked at how popular they are on social media and Google. We compared the availability of products, how easy the sites are to use, variety of computers, and shipping rates.
