But let's wait for final specs and user guides before passing judgment.
It hasn't been announced, but xenon processors and PCI-E flash storage is typically much more expensive than the Core Processor line or SSD storage since they are almost exclusively marketed towards servers.

The people hosing their system like that aren't likely to be able to use a recovery partition. I would guess they'd take the computer to a shop to get it fixed.
