Whats sad is people posting that it is sad that someone would pay for this. Obviously, those complaining are not the ones who would buy it and use computers as toys and/or for little productivity use. Some of us in the industry depend on the power crunching of our workstations, the more power, the more time saved. Bottom line of this machine is, I dont have to haul around a 50lb full tower computer and LCD or stuff a desktop in my suitcase when I travel to get my WORK done when I can do it with a laptop (if I had that kind of cash, but like anything else you want/need, you save up and invest in it after considering all variables).
