It normally retailed for $1499 but had a price drop today. It now retails at $1199 and with some haggling you can get it down to well under a grand.

the problem with these high spec laptop is that its either too heavy or use too much battery life. i reckon anything i5 and under would be good enough

Up to 5.5hrs on the P750 and 4/5 hours on the L750 and all 2.6kg. Thats pretty light imo.
