    I am located in Southern California. Does anyone know where they would have an X220 on display in So. Cal? Thanks.

    Perhaps a college or university bookstore?

    ThinkPads are going to be hard to find in alot of retail stores as your average joe schmoe sees the price and has a heart attack. Retail stores mostly sell consumer grade notebooks, as most businesses order through a supplier or directly from Lenovo. Micro Center (where I work) has some, but mine does not have the x220 so I doubt any California stores have any.

    There's no need to be sorry. I was just curious.

    They had a x220i at Central Computers in San Mateo a week or two ago. I know they have a few locations on the Peninsula, but that's where I saw it. Price was in the $750-800 range too (IIRC), so not bad at all.

    Been to Fry's but they only got the T410. I will look at local university. There used to be some x201t in the Microsoft Store but haven't seen thinkpad x series here. :(
