The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved.

    Are there brick and mortar buildings where you can try the thinkpads?

    B&H in NYC, 34th St and 9th Ave.

    Give them a call first to make sure that they have the machine that you're interested in available.

    Fry's Electronic in Illinois should have ThinkPads in stock. Most University bookstore now carry Apple's product and some low end windows machine.

    I just visited B & H in NYC. They have a good selection of Lenovo laptops, more so on the Thinkpad side than Ideapad. They did have a Y50 though.
