Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
It's not even fair to compare this to MacBook Pros. MacBook Pros are designed for average Joe the Plumbers. This machine is designed to crush your wallet as well as crush polygons and pixels.
It has features MBPs can only dream of. But the real reason the price is so high is due to the RGB LED display. I believe it's still a TN WUXGA (1920x1200) panel, but covers over 100% of the Adobe 1998 gamut or something. IT'S ALSO MATTE!!! So that adds to the insane price. Giving this machine to Joe the Plumber is like giving him a bulldozer when he only needs a spoon.
Does anyone else want to kill joe the plumber?
