What a beast system.

Based on the specs, it seems to be excellent--if you don't have to haul this around a lot (5.6lb, based on a quick search) and you are OK with the resolution. I looked at this model but decided to pass because of the weight.. but the deal was not as good when I checked, though

So scrounging around looking for corporate affility deals to stack, I stumbled upon their student affinity page. Not sure if EDU address required...It does not seem so. $930 for the same unit.

5.6 lbs...heavy?! I guess I'm dating myself mentioning the 14 lb "portables" i carried while running through airports just out of college.
