    I love seeing another workstation option, but it seems a bit over priced. It is still a gaming notebook body, which probably means it's not tested to standards matching Dell/HP/Lenovo workstations. More importantly, I'm guessing you don't get 3yrs NBD on-site warranty service (as is included with Dell and HP). OTOH, if you don't need that level of service, Lenovo offers it as an add-on, so with a standard 1yr warranty, you can equip a W530 with similar specs for ~$1,600.

    At $2,100 you are approaching the price of a 680m equipped Sager (P150 I think is the 15" model)...I wonder how much difference the drivers make when you consider the sheer horsepower difference between the K2000M and 680m. I know the point is stability and reliability, but this late in the life cycle, that price for a K2000M not-quite-workstation seems too high.
