How much?

I wonder how long this will take to sift in to mainstream channels and come down from intro-pricing.

not much at all!

1600€ incl. Tax and shipping
This also included "useless upgrades" like:

- Slot loading drive 35€
- EU Pickup return warranty (instead of sending to germany) - 20€
- Second 12 Cell battery - 129€
- Pouch - 9€
- Shipping 40€

so if you do not take the extras and are content with 2.5 hours battery life it will only cost you around 1350-1400€s all inclusive.

cheers

Software Windows Server 2003 R2 as a Workstation now migrated to W10 with regrets.
What a shame there isn't a socket 479 compatible version for quick upgrading of older machines. Even without clock gains, I'd be happy with the low power and 2 cores. Would make a big difference.
