Gateway tried this and failed. I wonder how is this going to be any different? I guess they'll carry stock you can buy (whereas I believe the Gateway stores just took orders).

The Gateway stores were bad because you could go in and look at all their new stuff and walk out with ... a receipt but no actual product. That would be delivered later. Not a recipe for success in my book. My parents were looking for a new computer and they had one of these stores so in we went. They were already to purchase when the salesperson asked where to ship the computer. I told her that shipping wouldn't be necessary as we'd just take it with us. That was when we were informed that they had zero stock and all products were shipped. No thanks, we went elsewhere.
