I wonder if the people who complain about the price here have ever worked with computers. For example, I am a software developer. It costs about 5000€/month or so to hire me after I graduate. Every workplace I have been in has given me a 3500€ MBP to write code with, no questions asked. Why? I need it and it's cheap compared to my wage anyway. Even a 10000€ computer wouldn't be very expensive considering it's estimated lifespan is 5-12 years.

For companies the cost of computers next to the cost of people is insignificant, and that is the target customer group for this machine.
