It is PCI-E flash. Lots of it as well. What part of you thought it would be cheap?

 

Anything made by Asus. Every product, from motherboards to routers and graphics cards, of their's I've ever owned died.

Hey the ASUS fanbois will get very upset if you say that around here. Spread that around the Motherboards and monitors section and you'll make a lot of people upset. 

 

all true yet i have razer products and a mac laptop

Well since you aren't a complete sausage who breaks their stuff they will last some time. Funny story: My friend used to have a K90 then the entire top row backilght just died. He got a K95 through a RMA and he recently told me 4 months later that some of his LEDs are dead. I told him my Blackwidow Ultimate hasn't failed yet. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

there not expensive when you considerer that use of those programs is how you make money

 

True, but where I am there are no student retail packages like there is in North America, but you're right. I believe the process/chemical engineering application HYSIS costs about $200,000 a license. But it is the industry standard, and has 24 hour on-call support.

adobe products

I both agree and disagree at the same time. It's expensive, but if you were going to update to the latest version then Cloud ended up costing less. That said, I do wish they had the versions for specific users still (like production, design, web etc.)

Ethernet cables. Cost me 150SEK (about 21USD) to buy, but the price that the vendors actually are able to sell them for is 10-20SEK (1,4-2,8USD).

I was told light speed travel was impossible but I plugged this into my phone and accidentally stuck it to my tongue and now I'm on an exoplanet 50 light years away. The downside is it drained my battery life so now I'm stuck here with just enough power to write this review in an attempt to warn others of the possible risk.

If you buy this you clearly have more money than sense. And I will confiscate money from the guilty party if the previous sentence is true
