It cost £2,824 which is $4531.67 USD.

The disk benchmark I did is called Black Magic Disk Speed Test it is in the App store. I do not know if they have a Windows version but I suspect they do not. You can use Crystal Disk Bench instead to test on Windows.

Cause it's the best laptop. 1TB PCIe SSD, no other laptop comes with this anywhere on the planet and is the bulk of the cost (About $1,000 is just that SSD).

Those needles wrote the sequel to "Mein Kampf". In that book they describe their harsh times trying to prove themselves for this test.

Yep the laptop is intact. I have not modified it since I bought it a couple of years ago.
