    Evros in Little Island should have them. They've demo'd them to me before. They should have the fancy tablet ones too.

    Sorry, should have said, online's no good to me. Need to actually have a poke at it.

    It's the fancy tablet ones I'm looking for, as it happens. I'll try them deRanged, thanks.

    Evros stock them, but not physically. Same problem as when I want to buy a high-end phone, Irish retailers want you to pay over the odds for something you can't even try before you buy. Why should I buy Irish if they're not even going to make an effort?

    That's strange, Evros have offered me trials of IBM kit before, and they run demos in UCC each year.
    I think I'll be doing some purchasing in the new year, maybe I'll try them for a weeks demo of a tablet. Doubt that'll be much help to you though, unless you're not planning to buy for a couple of months.

    Nah, no rush. Hopefully buying a batch of kit in the new year.

    To be fair to Evros, yerone came back and said she'd talk to a customer they sold to, to see if a demo could be a arranged. I'll take them up on it in the new year.

    I'm tempted by the new Dell Latitude XT, but the prices are looney toons.

    Scientist, are you sure about that? X61 tablets? Sound Store never struck me as a high end stockist.

    Calyx is a services company surely? Do you actually know that they stock Lenovo, or are we just throwing company names into the pot now?

    From my dealings with Calyx it seems to be that they will sell you items but then they go and buy them for you (other than printers).

    The Dell Tablet is nice but the prices are fairly steep. FujitsuSiemens do a nice tablet as well - can't recall the model number.

    With my experience of Calyx, PFH and others

    They will all sell anything, and NO one stocks items untill you have ordered them

    There are not many compnaies that will hold a stock as items change so fast

    Which is why I was looking for stockists.
