It's also £5,499.00 in the UK (just under $7k USD). Not exactly ideal for hobbyists.

That's only about 7 monitor stands, could be worse /s

I considered including a price tag (... and comes for only $6990 ), but decided against it for being too thick. I also think that using /s markers kinda kills the idea of sarcasm.

  Poe's law is especially strong with Apple, /s is definitely needed unless you go over the top with praising the price.

    > unless you go over the top with praising the price most apple enthusiasts think that the price is spot on and in no way overblown. (i do not have an opinion on the matter as i neither own nor use apple devices) i dont think you can convey any point about apple in a sarcastic manner while omitting a /s tag. there are always people honestly believing the point you're stating sarcastically. this applies to both negative and positive statements

      I use Apple gear and think it's mostly overpriced. I Need to buy a new MacBookPro and even though I can reclaim the VAT (sales tax) and it'll come out of corporate accounts the price makes me wince Oh and I'd like one without a touch bar but screwed on that front unless I go high end MacBook Air iPhone SE at £400 is pretty reasonably priced though and will be my next phone

  > I also think that using /s markers kinda kills the idea of sarcasm. Tone of voice (and tone of face) are both essential to convey sarcasm over rich channels, and both are lost over text. Now add Poe's Law. In short: Welcome to the wonderful world of autism! /s

  But those wheels are the real marvel of precise engineering! You could never experience such a smooth roll before.

Not exactly ideal for many people. I've never spent more than £600 on a computer and never felt like I need to spend 10x that for any of my software development
