Well, the list for the one I got is about $2100, has a 128G SSD (M.2) and a 1T Rotator.
You might want to look in to system 76. They make laptops with Ubuntu installed – I could have had one with 512G SSD, 2T Rotator, 16G RAM, high-speed WiFI,
and some other stuff I forget for about $1480. But it was ‘only’ 1080p, not 4k…

Subject: Re: Warranty!!?!?!?!?!
I would look into one of the models that have the SSD+HDD combinations already (i have seen the 32GB SSD for OS or caching) and use that. But i am looking for something very similar
to that (alienware 17 is looking the most promising) however as i can order it with a spinning drive and add a pair of m.2 ssds later.

I remember that, as part of BALUG many years ago. I never got a refund and
Microsoft tried to turn it to their advantage by setting up a booth. I think
there's a documentary out there somewhere.
When dealing with warranty crap from laptop vendors I just take an image of
the drive. If I have to send it in I don't include the drive anyway, and I've
never been given grief over it. Still, having an original hardware backup
like that is kinda cool.
