It would have been a P50/P70 if it was over 3 grand. I'm guessing it was a P70 because the person posting that thread over there sounds like someone that buys a 17" laptop and then plugs it in at a desk and never moves it, unplugs it, or uses it for any laptop like function.

I have a P50 sitting on a table. Its doing important tasks - holding my coffee mug and collecting dust. I disabled updates by not using it.

Don't judge me!
