Microsoft is permanently closing its retail stores

I'm someone who spends far more time on my laptop than I do in my car. I can't remember the last time I took a test drive when buying a car.

But I want to see my laptop, examine and touch it. That's getting harder and harder to do. But if I drove to a couple of store's in the Detroit area I could see all the leading contenders. I've never owned a Microsoft laptop but they were a contender and their stores were nice.
