TheVerge - Everything ultimately comes back to that price tag. My inner miser shudders at the thought of spending $2,600 on a laptop. “Think of all the money you could save,” it says, sending images of desktops with dual-displays, capable mid-range GPUs, and a pantry stocked with vittles that aren’t instant noodles. But I’ll always be something of a curmudgeon. I won’t say the M17x-R4 is worth every penny, but I will say that it’s a powerful desktop replacement — the fastest notebook we’ve reviewed to date — that will likely be sailing through hardware-intensive games long after you’ve finally paid it off. 7.5/10

Or heck just suck it up and buy a gaming desktop thats 3x better for 1/2 the price.
LMFAO, you make me laugh man, you make me laugh.
I had a custom desktop but trust me once u get into work where u need ur comp day in day out u need a proper warranty system which is fast. Dell do it in 2 days max. My mutilmedia touch panel started glitching after 1n half yrs and they changed it along with a new mother board to make sure lmao.
Now im always looking for a good brand, I will customize when i dont need it for work. But trust me when u need it fo rwork and are commited to deadlines u need a working warranty. U cant go getting warranty for every single part and self communicating with every vendor lol.
Also many ppl dont understand the requirement of performance heavy laptops. I need to take mine to clients and show them 3d/video promos n such almost every week. Also its easier to move around the house and also when working freelance and moving house time to time. Once you get fully pro. I would recommend a full fledged workstation but thats something else and another discussion.
Apart from the new GPU I don't see any real reason why anyone would get it, I only carry mine around the house and most of the time it sits on my desk for uni work and gaming
9.years, still counting.
