What's Hot

Very fast, Wacom digitiser, good battery life

What's Not

Wacom Digitiser is small, very expensive, heavy

The Final Word

This is a very fast workstation that features a small Wacom digitiser built into the right palm rest and the latest networking technology. But with its very heavy weight and sky-high price tag, users will need to decide if its worth buying this instead of two similarly fast PCs.
