      @scottalanmiller burn you once and never again ahy? 😉

      The X1 is worth the money, but I just tried to make one with more than 8GB of ram - no love. Back to Sager/Clevo for me.

        If it has Lenovo's name on it, it's not worth a penny to me. Lesson learned. That's a horrible company.

        Don't know Sager or Clevo. What are those?

        In the US, HP and Dell are the key players in the laptop and desktop market along with Apple and Lenovo, and then Asus and Acer on another tier. Samsung is a smaller player in some circles. Sony is out there, but I'd never consider them. Pretty much HP and Dell are the big players.

            @StrongBad Yup!

            One of the ones currently that I want. Unlocked i7-k, 32gb ram, 2x M2 drives, 2x 2.5" drives, GTX970/980. So much win.

                  Yeah, laptops just aren't worth that to me. If my device is going to be that expensive, I want to rethink what I'm doing with it. I suppose if you are a mobile gamer, but outside of that.

                    I've never been good with sarcasm... especially written but I assume this isn't affordable at all...

                      I can get a nice Chromebook for $299.

                        @coliver You would be correct. They can go for as much as a decent used car if you get really silly with the config.
