You are absolutely right. It is also a problem where I live (Spain). Only 
in big cities like Madrid (or Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia...) perhaps you 
can find real shops with real hardware.

I bought my laptop on a department store, the kind that sell from 
groceries, clothes, and a few computers. They just chanced to have a nice, 
simple, laptop which I liked, so I stopped searching. I could have gotten 
a better one, but this was good enough.

By the way, I noticed similar laptops been made with ati and nvidia. I 
mean, I could find both versions, or at least, in the catalog. And some 
with ati, nvidia, and intel. Maybe not all brands do the same.
