    Hi everyone.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are there any Canadian retail locations that carry the majority of the Dell notebook lines/models? I live in the GTA.

    I just want to walk into one location so that I can see/touch some of these Dell notebook lines. I'm tired of reading incomplete/outdated online reviews. I don't want to order online, based on Dell's shipping delays. I just want to walk in, play with a couple of notebooks and pay/walk out with one.

    Any recommendation would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    The only issue I have come across in the stores here anyway ...is that they usually have the mid range specs and it's hard to find the higher spec options on the floor models ie. the HD screens etc....could just be just what they had in stock at the time...
    costco sells Dell as well....they have some systems on their web site...cheers!!!

    Staples.ca = 0 Dell notebooks
    Walmart.ca = 2 Dell notebooks
    Future Shop.com = 2 Dell Adamo notebooks
    Best Buy.ca = 41 notebooks...which I already knew

    Most of the Walmart ones if not all are Inspirions or the lowest models.

    I guess it means you would have to order from Dell.ca

    I would anyway since you can customize it and the box stores probably over price the basic spec ones anyway.
