    Executive support, "hand-sewn" leather casing, and the ultimate in personal size compensation. That isn't worth $5,000 to you? I know. Me either. :D

    I thought the price reflected round the clock on site repair?

    I can only imagine how nasty the leather will get with a couple months of use. Like any leather products, the color will change, be prone to scratches and sweat/water marks. Also, Leather is a good insulator. This means it will keep the notebook hotter!
