Lucky they specify 'Porche Design' on the lid, otherwise I'd be confused and maybe think it was their payroll department or maybe the sanitation staff that designed it.

#12Is this their first laptop? I vaguely remember there was a line of Acer Ferrari notebooks - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1683411... and I think Asus did a Lambo one?

#13I couldn't find information about the GPU. It's wired that it's 100€ cheaper than Microsoft's Surface Book with similar specs. I'd be interested how good the quality is. It seems wired to think of Porsche Design as a competitor to Microsoft and Apple... You have for example the PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI MATE 9. But it costs 1400€ -> not competitively priced.
It's an intel 620 integrated gpu

#14Everything under the Porsche Design moniker is ugly as shit. A quick google image search of `porsche design` reaffirms this. Even their most plain and simple external drive designs are (at least to myself) tacky looking. I don't mean to be inflammatory about it but I can't be the only one to think this is ugly?

There was a reddit post a few days ago about how crazy it was that the original Porsche design was heavily reject by some company the guy worked for. I couldn't help but express the same opinion as you, I think I even used the same phrase. I guess there's something to be said for being able to inducing extreme opinions on both sides.

#16Does anyone actually remove the tablet portion of these class of laptops other than to say, "and do this and it becomes a tablet."
Re: Porsche Design Book One
#17Clarification - this is not suppose to be competitively priced, it usualy goes as a bonus to some of more expensive car purchase.
My guess is that for a lot of Porsche Design products, these are an answer to the question "What else can I buy that has the Porsche logo on it since I can't buy the car?" So some competition consideration is taking place when they set prices.
I got a t-shirt with my new Porsche from Germany :|

#18> [..] though I bet if Apple had designed it, the stylus wouldn’t just be sticking onto the side of the laptop with a magnet.
Indeed, you'd have to buy an adapter to attach it to the laptop.

Tablets are much more convenient on a commute.

Tablets are much more convenient on a commute.
To use while commuting (like on a train/plane?), or ease of lugging? I would think once you get to your destination, you're now stuck with it rather than a laptop, unless you have a dock. What's a good setup for these? I think they're interesting, I just don't get them yet.
