    If you get it basic,yes thats the normal price
    I just configured it to the 1000nit touchsceen and it is then over $3500
    Not many people would buy the basic configuration
    It’s easy to load it up and spend over $5000

    Not many of us here can justify buying a new model
    We look for a deal on a discontinued mk-2 model or buy a late model cf-29 and upgrade it
    I bought my mk-2 touchsceen last year for $3000 and still had to put over $275 for an optical drive + $150 for a transflective keyboard

    I just paid $1000.00 for a CF30 with all the main goodies and then my friend got the second one they guy had.
    Find a used one and be ready when you do to jump on it.

    Mark me down for (2), at that price :D
    That is way under the average price of $1320 for basic mk-1 units that I have been tracking lately
    And that is basic models ,options like the 1000nit touchscreen drive the price up a lot higher

    Wow, I would jump on that as well for 1K grand!

    I bought my CF30 MK3 with everything but GPS and fingerPrint for $2400.00 2 months ago. I felt it was a good deal so I pulled the trigger. Compared to what I spent on my CF30 MK2 a year ago that was a hell of a deal! My biggest regret is not finding this site earlier.
