These are our two main "big box" IT joints, for reference (websites are cancer):
and
https://www.harveynorman.com.au/
And a few others.
Obviously local "specialists" do exist, and I could go to them, but it will cost me waaayyy more, lol.
We used to have more variety. They all, sadly, went out of business... :-/
I don't want to link to anything too local, or specialised, because it will completely doxx me to anyone reading or seeing this, lol, but you get the idea...
We have mainly ASUS, ACER and Mac specialists, in-state (where I am is reasonably isolated, so we're talking... I suppose Anchorage, but even smaller, in terms of availability/getting stuff in). My uncle is involved in Acer, locally, so I could potentially look into getting a deal there, but the last time I talked to him, he tried to recommend his $3000 AUD (~$2068, USD) top of the line Acer, to me, which is... Probably a bit out of my range, lol...
Out of interest, can you even build laptops?? I've only ever known of people I know (vaguely, so I'm avoiding going to them for advice, first, lol) building desktops, so...
I just don't know much about this stuff, tbh, dude! Tell me more, lol!
