It is a well written review. Note that the D700 specs match closely with the R9 280, 280X, or 290, cards which sell retail for $349 to $449 or so each (the Mac Pro has 2 of these in the 2x D700 config). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_Rx_200_Series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_Rx_200_Series . The 2048 shaders would match with the 2048 number for the 280X, I think (if I am reading the chart right). The W7000 is the much more expensive "pro" version which has ECC RAM on the card and much less volume in terms of sales. It's funny though, I remember as a kid, thinking how cool it was that you could have a backpack-able computer (the original Macintosh could be ordered with a padded backpack). Now at 11 lbs and not very large, you could almost do the same again!
