Do what we all do. Go to PC World to touch and feel it. Then go buy
the same thing, for cheaper, on-line.
I know that lot of people have a low opinion of PC World, but they do
occasionally do good deals. When I bought my laptop a few years ago,
they had the spec I wanted for much less than anywhere else as by
chance what I wanted was a special promotion. They did try and sell me
an extended warranty that would have made up the difference. When they
told me it would include a 'free' yearly disk cleanup, I quite enjoyed
telling them that I was just going to wipe the disk and install Linux.
