Nice image granted these are the types of things I'd have as a wall paper rather than a laptop design.

They should just sell those sweet Mikoto vinyl wraps for existing laptops. You'd think would probably sell enough to make it more than worthwhile.

1.3k Is way too much for a laptop with standard specs. It should be at least half that price.

It's that price because it's a limited edition item aimed at otaku. The goal isn't to sell a lot of them, but rather to sell a few of them for much more than they're worth.

Specs? If I'm paying that much for a laptop I better be getting an i7-4200MQ and a Geforce GT760M, jesus. And that's for the cheap one, the super-expensive one better be packing some dual-GPU SLI shit. But of course all that money's for the otaku swag it has...

Also >Windows 8

Welcome to Japan; the land of ripoffs, where you get far less for paying much more.

You mean pretty much every country when it comes to pre-built machines....Especially products from Apple.

The prices are not even really THAT bad for a LE product

Ripoffs. There's even services that'd print ya laptop covers.
Meanwhile, just got me a new laptop free off one of the HP events. (They got me Dre Beats last time. Smile )

But when it comes to a laptop just let me out fit the one I have! also it would have to be a well built high end laptop for me.

I would also rather have a AMD processor high end GHZ wise, quad type chip.

If I had that sort of money I'd get one of these and a (regular) laptop.

It's just an overpriced Clevo W150ER with Misaka on it.

Ugh, AMD. Always go Intel, AMD is cheap and unreliable. Their GPUs suck too.

Clearly the reason why they're the real winner behind this generation's console war.

Their GPUs are in the consoles because they're cheap and AMD paid out the ass probably to get them in.

But on the PC? Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU all the way.
