For way less than 5k i can build my own that is just as good if not better. and I can still buy the tshirt strategy guide. already have all the games except DIII of course.
Whew! That price tag is way up there. And I don't see the point of a dual-disk RAID on a notebook. Sounds like it's just begging for data loss for not a whole lot more speed (at least not for a game - the solid-state drive would be better for load times).
I'd rather just buy a hardshell case with Diablo's eyes and evil grin in place of where the Apple logo would be.
