... to spend $3000+ on a laptop.
Review of the Dell Precision 7530 and Precision 7730
An entry-level 7530 lists for $1200; upgrading to a 7730 and adding in all the bells and whistles bumps the price up above $3000.
I know the specs of Dell's current line of 1U rack-mounted servers, and a 7730 laptop with all the bells and whistles comes pretty darn close to them: six-core Xeon E-2176M CPU @ 2.70GHz, either 3-SSD RAID 5 array and 2TB HDD or 4-SSD RAID 5 array, 64 GB RAM (128GB if Dell starts shipping 32GB DIMMs). And with a NVIDIA GPU, this is a good gaming or 3D-rendering box, too. EDIT: Oh, and MIL-STD-810G ruggedization comes standard.
Does anyone know of any reason not to get one, other than the price?
