I’m about to drop some serious power on you folks. This is one monstrous lappy, and I don’t mean that its large. Just look at the image. It looks like a normal, every day lappy. I can tell you that its not. Certainly not for US$6,995. So, what do you get for all that dough? Here are the specs for the 1Beyond GoFlex317: 2.4 or 2.66GHz Quad-core Intel CPU or a 2.6 or 3.0GHz Core2 Duo CPU, 3 SATA2 100 or 200GB drives in RAID-5 format, nVidia 8800 PCI-Express card with 512MBs of RAM, 1920×1200 17″ widescreen display, and up to 4GBs of RAM. The $7k price tag gets you the 2.66GHz Quad Core bad boy, of course. It you were to take one of the Core2 Duo’s, you might as well buy a MacBook Pro, but that Quad is really, really inticing!
