The $3000.00 USD Laptop

I had the pleasure of ordering and setting up the most kickazz laptop I have ever laid my hands on today, and man was it sweet.

The CEO approached me about getting a laptop for the President of the company so we could pass his down to a sales person. So I put together some modest quotes and the CEO said beef it up, I asked how much, and he said beef it! Ok, noooo problem. (I like how these titles float around in this small company)

This unit is a Dell XPS 16 and the specs are below and I should have brought it home for a weeks worth of testing just in case something was wrong

About the price, could have bought 2 decent laptops for the same price.
