    I like it but the mid-level model works out to about $5,200 cdn after tax - ctrl alt yikes!

    • you're paying for the Microsoft namemonospaced
    • yep it's pricey for sure.fadein11
    • yep, we're paying to have the microsoft priceGeorgesII
    • but aimed at top end of market - design companies won't blink at those prices if they buy mac pros etc.fadein11
    • And top end mac + wacom or whatever same price.fadein11
    • It was a joke about how they're the new Apple and can charge the brand tax.monospaced
    • I was talking to prophetonefadein11
    • come on mono - it's good, no need to bring up old apple beef :)fadein11
    • well all i can say is i invested about half that for my rammed out retina 15" 2.3 i7 MBP... and i don't use a wacom but could an intuos pro is about $500ishprophetone
    • obviously apples to oranges in some ways (monitor etc)... but for what i need i can spend 2/3 of that and have a kick ass system to get job doneprophetone
    • i do like it thoprophetone
    • yep - I just think design studios / agencies will buy a few of these. I can't afford one currently but I am a freelancer.fadein11
    • I didn't say it wasn't a nice machine. Relax.monospaced
    • I am relaxed, looking forward to seeing what Apple throws into the mix.fadein11
    • I'm interested IF Apple throws something into the mix.CyBrainX
    • I don't like the idea of that physical wheel. You can touch, use a stylus and that wheel? Seems like something should go and that wheel could be on screen.CyBrainX
    • guys this is actually quite a nice option– an intous Cintiq 27" (just a touch screen basically) is @ 2.5k eur, a maxed out MBP is 5k euro.ezkl
    • @Cy, haven't you used a "3d mouse" like that before? they're huge in the 3d market for navigating models easilymonospaced
