It also has TWO incredibly powerful graphics cards, which will handle anything you throw at it for the next decade. The GT80 laptop goes for more than $3000, which isn't surprising in the slightest.

It's actually a regular laptop that works fine without the liquid-cool dock, but the graphics cards don't work at 100% without the dock because they're so powerful and can easily overheat.

It, too, has two graphics cards. Except the GX800 uses Nvidia's latest GTX 1080 graphics cards, which are just as powerful as those you'd find on a full-size desktop.

This thing is absolutely stunning. There was a time you could buy laptops from the craftsman, who would use laptops parts and build the beautiful wooden cases, but he only sells accessories now.

Let's cool things down a bit with this laptop called the "Floral Kiss," by Fujitsu.

It had design elements that the company thought would appeal to women, like a pearly power button and fake diamonds on the Caps Lock key.

And it was designed so that women can open the lid without the risk of damaging their nails. This continues to not be a joke.

But the promo video gets even more offensive. It shows how the "Floral Kiss" is perfect for women who just want to shop for handbags online. Because that's all women do with computers... right?

Watch the short promo video to see how else Fujitsu thinks women use computers... and how offensive this thing is.

This particular model is being sold on eBay for just under $1,800.

Here's another chunky beast from Getac, that's actually a mobile server with a screen. That means you can carry around an abridged version of "the internet" in five hard drives wherever you go.

Behold. The Acme Portable "Sherlock 4:4." It's a portable "forensics workstation," so it's not really a laptop or a hybrid. But, like the Surface Pro 4, all the important parts are in the screen. That's where the similarities end.

Unlike the Sufrace Pro's magnetic keyboard connection, the Sherlock's keyboard connects to the screen with a telephone cable. Beautiful.

Acme describes the Sherlock as "incredibly compact" and "portable" at 27.5 lbs. Most laptops weigh under 4 lbs, but I suppose it IS as powerful as about eight Surface Pro 4s. Who knows how much this thing costs; you have to contact the company to get a quote. I'm still waiting to hear back.
