    Just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents.

    Paul Davey at SoftwareEmporiumInc was pretty much the reason I ended up buying my w2v. One of the most helpful people I have every dealt with.

    They are in Dawson Creek, BC.

    I highly recommend them.

    www.softemp.ca (pretty cheesy site, but he tells me they are in the middle of reduing it)

    I'd also try to find a local computer paper, as it would have ad's from all the local competitors, and practically all include laptop listings if they sell them (one is The Hub)...

    Also remember that a lot of these local retailers will try to price match other local prices to try and keep your business, so it never hurts to ask.

    I forget the small retailer i got my Z71V from (it was in Crystal Mall, Burnaby, near the bank), but they were great in service. The only thing I bought at their price was the barebone Z71V, as they price matched sales for my ram, CPU, and HD. Made it a lot easier to buy in one place, instead of four.

    Unfortunately, none of them have them on display.

    What models do you want to look at? Some A&B Sound stores have the w3v on display (rebadged, Seanix) They also have the z71a/v if I remember correctly (also rebadged Seanix).

    Or you can always ask some members here who have an Asus notebook if they'd be nice enough to show you their laptop. And if they'll be nice enough to show you it ^_^
