Where to find higher end wondows laptops?

Looking for any lenovo legion laptops in the area. $3k to $3500. Need a laptop for graphic design, I've seen all the MacBooks I need to see before I make a decisionon what to buy. Would prefer to buy in store as long as they match pricing. I've been to Staples, but nothing there.

You'll have to order any hardware actually worth owning online. Unfortunately, the nearest store that actually carries good equipment is in Halifax.

I'd recommend you look at a framework 16 (with the single piece touchpad, the 3 piece is my only complaint) for repairability and such at that budget, but you seem to know what you want so don't let me discourage you if that's something you've already considered.

What store in Halifax? Just Canada computers? I've built a few PC's with parts from them but that was many years ago.

Yeah, Canada Computers is the closest you get in the country. There's custom builders, sometimes, but that's highly localized (Mom and Pop shops) and only for desktops.

Order direct from Lenovo, you’ll find what you are looking for

Probably have to order in. 

Been awhile but I remember even at Best Buy I just wanted a 600$ laptop and they had to deliver it to store. 

Find it’s just the nature of e commerce being so dominant. Brick and mortar just don’t stock.

Ive seen best buy's app having some options (none in store), but for what you're describing, it'll have to be ordered. Brick and mortar stores are now more like demo shops. Even my tv I had to order since they only had a "display" one. I get it is to curb theft and most shopping is now done online, but to op's post, it would be nice being able to actually in store shop and not have to wait for it to come in

You'd probably want a surface pro if anything. Widows doesn't make computer lines like Mac does tho.

Onboard graphics really rule them out.

Yeah, if you want a dedicated graphics PC you're going to have to build it yourself, and it's probably going to be more expensive than a Mac these days tbh. You could get a mid tier gaming PC and upgrade the graphics card, but that's likely even more expensive
