One of our guys is working on a plant launch at Roseburg, Oregon. The hard drive of his laptop died. He is not computer-savy enough to reinstall and reconfigure an OS if we just send him a new HDD. The best would be a new computer. Time is critical.

The nearest thing to a city from Roseburg seems to be Eugene. There isn't much in Eugene as far as computer stores. There's a bunch of small stores doing services, but there does not seem to have any large wholesale computer store. Which is understandable as Eugene has a population of less than 160,000 persons.

How can I send him an enterprise-grade laptop ASAP? It can be a Dell workstation laptop, a Lenovo Thinkpad (he currently has a T440 with a dead HDD) or an HP ZBook 15 G2. We would rather not having him buy a cheapo 400$ laptop as it would be wasted money, while a higher-end laptop can be reused afterward, by him or others.
 
Those 3 are present, but didn't pop when I search the yellow pages for a computer store. Thanks. I'm browsing their inventory.
 
I was born in Eugene, lived there for a year in my 20s, and still have friends there I could walk through a repair/rebuild if it comes to that. Just let me know.
 
I ended up telling him to order a laptop at provantage.com and pay for next day delivery. The exact same laptop we order here (an HP ZBook 15 G2), he'll pay it ~375U$ more than what we pay for here. I'll know tomorrow late afternoon if he'll receive it on time or not.

Did that all work out?
 
So far, I haven't been able to contact the guy in Oregon. The laptop is supposed to be waiting for him at his hotel. He should have received it by now. Maybe checking his e-mails won't be the first he'll do when he'll get the laptop.

He's probably got some pr0n sites to visit first.
