That's certainly an expensive laptop, but you really can't say it's comparatively expensive, since it's got more than twice the resolution of any other laptop. There is no direct comparison to be made as yet.

It's got more pixels yes, but that doesn't make it N orders of magnitude more useful.

FOR YOU!!. People use to believe they really are the center of the Universe, so if they don't find something useful, NOBODY does!!

I know some professions in witch it certainly makes it 10*N times more useful.

I've noticed an increase in immature sounding posts on HN lately. Isn't school back in session yet? What (or witch?) profession finds it 10x more useful to have a laptop with a higher pixel count but still a standard, unimpressive effective resolution?

The only thing I can think of is medical imaging and they use windows.
