Eww lol, its cheap but really negates the entire reason those big size monsters exists, for big high res screens and powerful cpus & gpus.

I cant see any reason for anybody to get a laptop this big with those specs regardless of price.

 

Really?

I think it'd be a great desktop replacement for those that would like a little portability as well as a nice 18.4" screen. Not everybody needs the powerful GPU or stunning 1080 res.

My Grandparents come to mind.

To each their own.

 

Na, get something much smaller with same or better specs and then a superior external monitor. You get better use of it when using it as your desktop but gain a lot in the way or portability.

Calling a near 20" laptop portable is a sin.
