I'm gonna guess close to 1000 US?
Love the esata + usb3.0 that is missing on new Apple mac book pro laptops.
Not sure why they have the nv gt540 that is just as lame as the intel 3000IGP something that would be on the i*/i7 cpu, bit of a waste there. The 560m would have been ideal and future proof as part of the bottom of the cockroach level of gpu's.
I wonder what the price of this would be as compared to a same spec'd android dual core 10" touch pad that costs usd$127.00 .
Only other thing is why is the top concave? If it gets warm I bet you could put a few drops of scented oil in there :-)
Heck you can buy 2 new office laptops for that price.
