Marketing - Computers (general) / store posters/seals/cards
English term or phrase: Seal
This is about in store information regarding laptops, that would help you make a decision about which one to buy. I would be grateful if someone could let me know what 'seals' are in this context.

Explanation:
I think they mean the "Windows certified" or "Vista compatible" type seals, or even "Best Buy" or "Computer Magazine winner". Hope this helps.
