The processor ALONE is over 1000$. The whole laptop costs what, 2477$? I'm sorry but that is a good price.

The 20 min battery life of the laptop is infinitely better than that of the desktop

A equivalent desktop would cost alot too. 1000$ CPU, 200$ mobo, 70$ RAM, 50$ slim DVD burner, 60$ HDD, 50+$ PSU, GPU is equivalent to a 6850 so 185$, Small form factor case with adequate cooling 100+$, Screen is at least 100+$. That is at least 1850$, and this isn't even counting the fact that it has no battery backup or probably needs extra custom cooling. That is at least another 150$... So This desktop breaks the 2000$ barrier, while being 10x the size, and unpractical.

I'd pay the 477$ premium for it being practical and not needing to break your back, buy a car, or hire someone to carry it around for you
