I look at store catalogs from Bestbuy, Staples, Office Depot, CompUSA, Circuit City and others but haven't found one pre-configured X2 processor! Where are they?

Probably not too popular with the OEMs because they usually like to rip people off which is hard to do with an X2 /tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' />
Nah, I'm joking, I saw a few in the Micro Center catalog a few days ago /biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> Staples, and Office Depot.... I'm not surprised they don't have it, it's like saying why doesn't Wall-Mart have dual cores /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' />

You must remember the X2 is devoted mainly to the enthusiast market at the moment. HP, Compaq,etc are mainly designing for home systems. Thus you wont see much in the ads of staples, worst buy, office report, swamp usa, and slircuit city.
IIRC, SwampUSA is actually carrying the X2 in stock at some stores.

HP has had them for like 2 months now, lol. Go into any CompUSA and walk up to the HP CTO configurator...
They at first had all 3 X2's but now for some reason HP is only offering the low-end. May be a temporary supply thing...
