1) Fully-specced new laptop every 2 years. Our CTO just specced a nearly-$3,000 Linux laptop from System76. My assistant and I have Macbook Pros.
So thats a Clevo chassis (p157SM?) with the full 32GB loadout, multiple SSD, 15.6" 95% gamut screen, 780M, top of the line i7 haswell.
Has he/she figured out the switchable graphics part yet? I've got a Sager with the 8970M and have horrible problems with getting the dedicated GPU be treated correctly.
On another note regarding the price: What on earth merits that setup if you get new boxes every 2 years?
My Sager was $1500 with the GPU, wifi card, screen, and (16gb) ram upgrade. There is NO way this thing will be deprecated in 2 years.
