Retailers in Chicagoland with T-series laptops on display?

#1 Post by hydrostarr » Thu Jul 22, 2010 9:58 am

I'm looking for retailers in Chicago with T-series laptops on display (so I can get a feel for chassis size, display brightness, etc).

I know of CDW in Vernon Hills. Any others?

Micro Center in Westmont has them on display. I saw a T410 just a few days ago. I dunno about the one on Elston but I wouldn't be surprised.

Fry's has an X100e but nothing bigger.

i have other laptops but i'll be honest i never use 'em

Thanks j-dawg.

I visited the CDW retail store/display in Vernon Hills (far suburb) at 200 N Milwaukee Ave. Very impressive. Talked with a sales rep there named Mitch McCloskey, he was very knowledge about Thinkpad (and many other lines).

Private-msg me and I can provide Mitch's direct phone number, email.

I was in Frys a year ago and they had a T400s on display. I am not sure why they would have one of those and not the standard T400/500 line also so things may have changed since then.

Velocita Technology on 50 Barney Drive in Joliet had 4-5 TP's for sale last I was in there. Two of which, were T-series. It's a smaller store, but very friendly staff.
Some call me...Tim.
