Intel is going to be opening up a store temporarily in New York Nov. 23rd to Jan. 25th.  The Intel Experience Store, as they call it, is going to be a retail store, although you will have to buy the things online instead of leaving the store with them.  Inside there is going to be regular movie screenings, lectures, and programs available such as electronics recycling and another one that lets people show off new products.  The article also says that Intel will be letting people test out products outside of the store before they decide to buy them.  More stores are being planned for Chicago and Los Angeles but no opening date has been set (they will be opening though before the shopping season).

 

With that said, how do you think these stores are going to do?

Also, would you like to see Intel include more locations?

Like the idea of testing products outside of the store before buying them. It could be successful as there are movie screenings and the holiday season is coming.

That's a pretty cool idea, you get to test the product at your own pace (albeit you will have to be considerate of others  )  and you're not pressured into buying the product.

I'm assuming you can talk to actual IT people not some hipster (people who've been to a JB Hi Fi in Australia will know what I'm talking about hehehe)

Pretty neat. They should do this a lot more.
