Those are sharp. But they cost almost as much as a Mac Mini.

Im a wealthy industrialist, philanthropist, and keen purveyor of the finer things in life. I am busy acquiring and divesting fortunes, shaping industries, and, indeed, buying and selling men like myself as one might trade in fine silks or rare antiquities and yet even I was momentarily taken aback when I laid eyes upon a $499 price tag. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an exclusive luncheon at the club, where deals worth more than your yearly earnings will be sealed over a plate of imported oysters. Good day.
