I'd sure like to test out a Thinkpad before plunking down $$$. I am in the Seattle area currently. Does anyone know of any Lenovo dealers in this area? No dealer locator on Lenovo's site that I can find. The only place and have ever seen carrying them is Office Depot. I'd like to try out the Thinkpad notebooks and tablets.... Thanks!

I believe Staples also carries some Thinkpads. However, I don't know of any retailer that stocks the new T61s (Santa Rosa upgrade)

They have the X61, and while I've seen staff open the lock down bars on laptops before to propesctive customers, they REFUSED to yesterday, when I asked to see it. Even the manager, who refused to come out herself, but sent a lackey, said "we don't do that", when I have seen it happen myself.

I actually stopped by to browse the Targus backpacks with a real expectation to buy, but with this I just said "Tell her she lost a sale" showed my rewards card and left.

You can't get a feel for their weight in those damned cages...
