Well if that's what you're into...

One downside is that the battery life is crap (5 hours or so)...and the base price is $3600.

Hahaha, that thing looks amazing. Mechanical keyboard on a laptop!? 17" 4k display! Someone built my dream laptop then added $2000 to the price ;)

LinusTechTips on YouTube just uploaded a review of this machine and was extremely negative towards the keyboard.

If it's as durable and upgradable as its price, I might go for it. The other issue for me is OS, but if I address that I'm veering off topic.

Yeah I don't think you could get macOS running on this, but Linux has good drivers out there for most of the bits (maybe minus the chroma keyboard).

Wow, at seven and a half pounds that thing is a monster, but I suppose the specs and build quality justify it.
