Hi folks, came here for a ramble. I just got this email from Asus, showcasing this pile of glittered up dung:

Now is it just me, or is that about the dumbest shit you've ever seen. Look at that cooler! Looks like it was built by somebody that designs dams. Oh and they still call it a laptop. Omfg
Now what's even worse is they want 10k for this thing. They didn't mention the power envelope but my guess is it is around the 300w mark. I could build 3 Skylake systems for this price, maybe even 3 6850 based systems. Who the fuck buys this stuff? At first I thought it came with the chair and headphones, but no, just the mouse and beaver-built cooler.
