I’ve been saving my pennies. I usually upgrade all my CAD CAE CAM computers every 3 years. The biggest issue for me is graphics hence I always buy the big work stations as the graphics cards in lower end laptops are not compliant (compatible but not compliant) The graphics cards I use cost double what the rest of the hardware costs. But it looks like the new generation of hybrid laptops will work well. So... This will probably be on my shopping list for end of year big purchases. At $3000 for the setup that’s not a big deal. Considering my last laptop was $6200 and my software is about $7500 per year it’s small change for the “cool” factor.

Yeah, I immediately thought about CAD as an obvious application for something like this. It looks like a terrific platform for the next generation of big design apps. The ability to move and change position and orientation just like a drafting table is awesome.

I agree -- the prices is quite reasonable for what it does.
