All of those specs and not a single mention of how much this thing costs. How can any potential customer reasonably compare this to another laptop without knowing the base price?


Their catalog [0] lists the base price as $799.00, and you can easily spec it out and add to cart to view the cost with your ideal configuration.

Missed the catalog section, so makes a little more sense in the context of browsing the site from the start. Still, I shouldn’t have to add to cart to actually see the price as configured.

I don’t want to get too far in the weeds here since we’re not generally supposed to critique site design on HN. But it feels relevant to the conversation given the product text doesn’t have that information.


I just added a base configuration to the cart to see the price, looks like it starts at $799, which is pretty reasonable imho.


2023-06-12: The site displays this; but 64 GB RAM, 8 TB SSD and additional luxuries raise the price to about 2800 USD.


Click add to cart.
