And here I thought it was just me :D

However, knowin the AsSus/Rog'em folks like I do, and given the listed specs, my guess would be ~$2-3000 when fully decked out OOTB......:eek:..:fear:..:shadedshu:
 
Cramming all the USB next to each other like sardines, man its good to be back in 2004.
 
$2,849.99 in the US

At least it comes with Three months of Adobe Creative Cloud. So at nearly 3.5k USD that's a bargain.

Sooo I wasn't too far off :D

Perhaps if they offered a bare-bones option, maybe we could get one for ~$2K, cause I already gots lotsa ramz, drivies and OS licenses...

note: I could care less about the ACC TRIAL nonsense, since IMHO, their cloudwarez subscription thingy suks wallah anyways.....
 
Let's wait for official pricing, eh?


Agreed. This looks like a very compact winner if ASUS can get the pricing right.
Got the pricing on Asus web store... Pretty official
 
As the saying goes, if you have to ask - it's already too expensive.
IIRC, the saying is: "If you have to ask, then you can't afford it", but it means the same thing either way, hahahaha :D

And IMHO, it IS too expensive, at least for my wallet anyways !
 
It's the link provided in the article... Went there and it offered to switch me to the US site as I'm in the US... Pre-order is up for that amount
Ah, the front page link. The forum page doesn't have that link. Some of us read articles from within the forum which doesn't import the source links properly. It's a known issue I'd forgotten about. Sorry about that.

yeah, if you have many stuff that need to get connected at the same time
 
Well their last one was about $1800 now so expect it to be more than.
 
Wait, are those mobile or desktop GPUs??
