they also changed the fucking charger again jesus fucking christ this is unholy
$3500 for a pro-level mobile workstation isnโt a lot when you consider itโs a fraction of the cost of the software that will run on it. This is for developing blockbuster movies while the animators are working from home, not for browsing r*ddit from Starbucks. Hereโs a $6k Dell to give you an idea of this market.
Yeah, when youโre using Adobe suite that comes out to $6000/year or Autodesk which can easily run $10k+
Especially because those softwares have been laying off developers for years and scaling back features. The reason they cost so much now is because existing features are being locked behind separate โservicesโ that you have to pay per person per year.
So an engineering firm with 10 drafters needs to pay $3000/chair/year or $30,000/year just for AutoCAD any additional products incur separate seat fees.
