These machines are total and utter crap. Shelling out $10K+ for these clunky, awkward (and not portable since no battery) machines are a waste of money. The same machines can be built for less than half the cost and will function 200% better. Check out how they market...free PR releases!!! Horrible support and performance.
Only a complete moron would buy this. What market are they really trying to aim at? What quad core number crunching spreadsheets do they think people in the field need to do? If you need a tough field computer you buy a toughbook. Not a crappy case with a LCD in the side of it. 8lbs compared to 14.5-26.5 lbs (not including keyboard and mouse) sounds a lot more portable to me. This is just a gimmick.

Only people I see buying this are non IT and/or computer literate people. Some suit sitting in a office is going to make another bad decision and waste corporate money buying this piece of crap. It'll be blamed on someone else.
