Wow, it is the guts of a $400 desktop-replacement notebook tucked into a $400 display IPS touchscreen display - with the extra $900 margin going to executive bonuses.
TWO HOUR battery and mechanical hard-drive in a $1700+ device, whatever.
Also, it stated that it supported 'up to an i7'. I imagine the $1700 version has an i3.
You did see the part about this being a 27" device, right? I mean, how much battery life do you need out of a portable AIO? I'm still a little confused as to why Lenovo even felt the need to include a battery, so I can't be unhappy with "only" two hours of "mobility". For the mechanical hard drive, the problem most manufacturers are having is giving up capacity for performance. The marketing folks are still stuck on saying, "We need more! More is better!" So 128GB and 256GB to them look horribly small compared to 1TB to 4TB hard drives.
