Rigol announces "serious" scope: DS70000
TurboTom:
Seems like Rigol intends to step into the "serious business" sphere: https://www.rigol.com/products/oscillosopes/DS70000.html
I wonder what kind of price point this monster will be aimed at and if we'll ever see an independent review of it. Interesting it is anyway... :)

I wonder whom they're after. Keysight MXR series? They have a 6GHz 4 channel model in their lineup, too. But with the kind of software Rigol tends to make, that's going to be a tough sell.
rvalente:
If you have a butt load of others people (company budget) money to put in the finest piece of gear why would you ever not consider the 60+ years of experience from Keysight/Tek/Iwatsy and R&S and buy a first gen Rigol? You'd crazy if you did.
Mechatrommer:
will be fun to fill table...

At least initially it would not be so much about US market, more like China, India, Russia. With additional duties and maybe export restrictions the price can be quite attractive there. I would not want to rely on Keysight service in North Korea or Iran.
With these scopes, it is not just the scope itself, but also the active probes - not sure if they are compatible with a major brand.
Once established it can be attractive to small US companies too, that don't get a special corporate rebate.
