I have been looking for months. This is a computer for work, and they are starting to get annoyed. I really want to see the laptop before I buy it. That is part of the problem. I am limited by what I can see in a store. I have seen so many sh*tt* laptops that I have no interest in taking a chance on what may arrive in the post. It is surprising how few retail stores in Sweden sell laptops. Or, to be more specific, that have any variety to what they have to show. Most all stores are selling the same tired models. For example, I would like to see a Thinkpad. Seems not a single shop in Sweden has one on display. I can order one sight unseen. But I don't really want to do that...
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. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
