and people will still say they would want a mac over this magnificent piece of engineering because of 'Apple care and how they can just walk into a store and get it fixed'....

 

I do want a macbook over this... but I do already have gaming laptops so maybe thats why

[Vadisi]

You may be right. I had a weird gut feeling I'd done it once before, but I couldn't find the video so I went ahead... Any idea what video it was?

 

I don't think it's a huge deal either way since for me the important thing is to not DEVALUE an editor's choice award. So many sites hand them out like candy, but I want to be different...

 

So if it's 1/2000 or 2/2000 products I can still hold my head high saying it'md5check=8b3ce8f601241ad118abb02p;to get one at Linus Tech Tips

i cant remember what it was specifically but i think it was some time early this year/late last year.

(i dont know what the md5check=8b3ce8f601241ad118abb02p; is about it might be a bug)

That screen is not good considering the price of the machine, judging from those shots. Also, the bezels man, the bezels. When something is this expensive it better be f'n near perfect. I don't see the value here.

Gt840m is probably not much better than the standard Intel graphics. 

The Gt 840M is much better and the notebook would be perfect for school and light gaming like CSGO and LoL.

Great machine for video work on the road. Got myself one for a two week trip I'll be taking to NY in a couple weeks.  Also using it for a lil light gaming on while I'm out or steam in-home streaming while I'm home.

This machine cost over 8000 bucks here, basic model, can't remember the storage capacity though, and Blade 17 is only 500 bucks more ($150). But lacks QHD touch screen and has a 860m.

Don't try to tell me an integrated Intel GPU can't play CSGO and LoL

For everyone complaining about the price, try getting one in Australia 

 

[linusforsell]

Hmmm, impressive machine... Might have to pick one up!

Apple care is so dumb i don't know how the laws are structured in Canada but here in Australia most of the things that apple care offers are part of the Australian consumer law anyway and apple has to offer the to us or they cant sell the products here. But yet the don't mention this when try to sell it to you.

i love mine to pieces

Probably cheaper to fly to USA and buy one then fly back

from what i hear about australian tech consumer laws theyre pretty damn good though am i right? here in the states theyre pretty bare bones and blehhh. lets say this, if youre in the US and you broke something, you better hope you bought some damn good product insurance for the thing

i hate it how all tech is more expensive here.

[GriggsCK]

3200 AUD, wow, it's 9500 myr here. Maybe you fly over to Malaysia, buy the blade and still may cheaper than this.

Well screw you I CAN'T EVEN BUY ONE IN GERMANY.  Jk. I still can't buy one...

They are pretty good but most people just don't know that they exist so company's try to get around and hope no one notices.

here companies kinda try and do the same thing. when some old grandma walks into the store wanting to by a new computer they sell it to her without letting her know that such insurance even exists so when something eventually happens to the computer, she has to go back only to find out that there was insurance but she never got it because the salesman never told her that she was able to get insurance. therefore she has to pay a lot of money to fix the computer. american logic right there...

razor don't copy apple when it comes upgradability

3200 AUD, wow, it's 9500 myr here. Maybe you fly over to Malaysia, buy the blade and still may cheaper than this. 

if you look at the exchange rate 9500 myr is still 3189 aud so we would only save 11 dollars

[Sauron]

Well, GG macbook pro. Not going to buy this because it's still too expensive, but at least it's way better value than anything apple has for that price.
