a cousin of mine wants to buy a labtop but he is not very computer saavy so i thought it would be better for him to start with Windows XP as opposed to VIsta, since all the labtops we went to go look at have Vista, i am pretty familiar with WIndows XP and i feel i can help him out more if he gets a labtop with Windows XP instead of Vista, i tried using Vista, and it is kinda complicated to use, so if i dont know how to use Vista well i doubt i can explain stuff to him very good since i am new to Vista too....
so is their anywhere besides eBay he can buy a labtop that comes equipped with maybe Windows XP media Center or regular windows XP ???? a Store???? or are any stores still going to carry labtops with Windows XP???? a reliable website????
cuz everywhere i look they Alll come with Vista!!!!
Thanks Any Help would be appreciated, i live in Los Angeles...
so any stores around this area that sell labtops w/ XP???

You can order online from Dell, Vista is an automatic upgrade so you can still ask for XP instead. Also ask the salesclerk if they have a repair dept, they can easily re-image the laptop to install XP. Most laptop manufacturers have restore disks, I'm sure they will have ones with XP.
If you need XP you can go to Egghead.com or go to a computer surplus store look for the OEM versions, or ask for the versions they sell to builders. It will be cheaper than buying the full package from Microsoft.

Try this link:

I've used Newegg numerous times and have been very happy with them. Also, on the following link, on the left side of the page, is a "sort" list where you can specify the OS you are looking for, as well as many other factors that you might be interested in.

Ebay would be a good place to start. Also, you could check places online like PC Connection, CDW, etc. to see if they have a refurbished laptop that would be loaded with XP.
