What are your concerns for a notebook? best bet is to find something your looking for and ask for reviews.. Looking for a specific notebook just to test is going to be hard. Notebooks have soo much variation.

You can't really "test" much in-store anyway, at least not as far as performance, and particularly not with your software of choice... you have to largely go on the specs.
What you CAN test, is how you like the feel and layout of the keyboard and trackpad (I, for one, cannot stand the layout of HP laptop keyboards), the look of the screen, the weight and balance (important if you're going to be carrying it a lot), and so on. Those kind of things won't vary much within a model line, even if different stores carry different variations of the same model.
