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.

I 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 www.porsche-design-computing.com/files/press/en/Datasheet_Porsche_Design_BOOK_ONE.pdf

Everything 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.

Clarification - 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 :|

> [..] 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.

Does anyone actually remove the tablet portion of these class of laptops other than to say, "and do this and it becomes a tablet."

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.
