Was just looking through newegg and came across a list of $4k-6k laptops.   

The reason?

Dual graphics cards...

    Get's expensive trying to fit all the things you want in a full sized tower into a small laptop. Purchased one of these gaming laptops years ago for like $3,000.

    Battery Life was like 20minutes... The thing got so hot eventually it would start to become extremely uncomfortable on my hands / wrist and it was heavy.

    Granted this was back back the GeForxe FX 5950 was the best thing out so i am sure things have come along since then but I will doubt I will invest in a gaming laptop again.

    Acer has released a $9000 laptop. Although it weighs more than a desktop, even more than a desk. 

    ACER Predator 21X

    That class of hardware has been around for a long time.  Clevo seems to make a new one every generation, and Alienware often does, too.

    There have been ridiculously priced top-end laptops as long as there have been laptops. It's nothing new. Those are not meant for normal computer-user any more than Ferraris are not meant for normal commuter.

    Apple have been ripping people off for years with over-priced inferior hardware. People still buy it because they are morons.

    Wonders how long the battery life is at 100% load.

    For $4000 they better include a battery that can last 2 days at least with no charging like my phone can at full load with a battery pack lol...

    Also $4000, and it doesn't include windows 10 pro LOL?

    Who makes the HDD + SSD, an Ram...

    It doesn't offer full product specs I wouldn't buy it.
