What a beast!
I would be tempted to consider getting a lower spec laptop for travel use
and limit your budget for that to $1000-$1200. Then you could get a local PC
builder to build you a picture chewing machine with the other $2000. This of
course assumes you have the $3500 to spend that the base of the Dell model
runs to. Personally I suspect that this particular model Dell is more about
its aesthetic than about use by raw power users.
