   @thomasfuchs I want to say that the "barrier" was "$5000" and this was probably some small amount under, say $4985. But that is Windows 3ish so that might be the era of $10,000 color laptops, so like $9,995

     @FeralRobots @thomasfuchs I thought the highest spec MacBook Pro would get there, but even that (just the laptop, no additional software or accessories) is “only” $7,199.

     @thomasfuchs
     yeh I'm actually not sure I could figure out how to spend that much on a laptop. & I'm not sure I'd actually want to use the one I could spend that on - it'd probably be some exotic ruggedized beast that could heat a room. (I haven't priced high-end laptops in quite a while so I could be way off the market.)
