Nothing to write Home about.

The only impressive thing about them is the cost. A $5100 Desktop System? Gimme a break! Thats a rip-off. I could you build you something as fast and cheaper. Lots of the parts they use are based on experimental technologies. For example blu-ray, a $400 drive. The HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray wars are not over, why sink 4 c-notes in a tech that might follow in the steps of the minidisc and Betamax. Thats just a waste.

People assume "the most expensive" is always "the best", it isn't. Nor is it the smartest. Its like buying a Ferreri, Who cares if it goes 180mph? you still are only going to drive 65. Its better to get an Audi S7.

If you want a gamers laptop then its worth considering, However I have read that Asus as some killer gamer laptops, which are mostly likely cheaper.
