It's towards the middle of the page.
I feel safe with anything that goes through MS - as far as legality goes.

Ok, there's no way this is legit. I won't pretend to know but i can't imagine that there are dual xeon laptops with 480gb harddrives, and certainly not for $670. If you don't mind it in the desktop form go ahead and take $300 off that price.
Nevadagator, definitely go check em out...if you can buy something cheap from a real person it'd be mcphatty.

How is this possible? Wouldn't the compan(y/ies) involved lose alot of money?
Nevada... if you check up on it, PM me
2 cents: I think it is not legit because anything that could be a problem to the customers is handled. They said if you do not have a compatible NIC they will give you one for free. How much money is this company willing to lose? Free cable service is like some kind of radio-wave theft, isn't it?

this is the same company that had a thread here that was locked, search for xeon in this forum to find out more...
sure sounds like satellite internet access with a direct tv dish...unless the company built a $20 billion ground base wireless broadband internet network, right under our nose?

Henderson is 20-30 mins away from their established address (30 from me, about 20 from them... they are close than me to Henderson).
(30 from me, about 20 from them... they are close than me to Henderson).After reading the WhoIs...they only registered their site in Feb and it expires in a year. Thats pretty weak when you're offering lifetime broadband.
Man...this has SCAM written all over it. Can notebook chipsets even handle 4.5 GB of ram. You can tell that these are just some idiots trying to rip people off. They even advertised 4.5 GB of SDRAM for a Pentium IV...everyone knows that Pentium IV only supports DDR SDRAM or Rambus. Have you ever seen a manufacture advertise a Pentium IV with SDRAM? I hope that the computer illiterate people don't fall for this scam.
this was already covered at dslreports.com
it is not legit. i'm amazaed they can sell something that doesnt exist... dual xeon laptops hilarious. while i'm at it i'll pick up a geforce 6 512mb usb graphics card to go with my infrared 19in lcd monitor

So did you fall for it? Not to say you're computer illiterate, but it's called the Intel 845 chipset, check it out at NewEgg
845 boards can also be DDR.

I didn't even know they made 1525mb peices of ram.... This is so fishy i'd swear they sell fishing poles too...
i'd buy it, but it lacks a telepathic mouse, and what if i want to upgrade from 1536mb ram? there are no additional slots.
gee whiz, why dont they just sell computers with non-existent quantum processors with bonus black hole generator

they do, but not SODIMMs, and good luck getting three SODIMMs in a laptop
This scam is at least funny...They were phoning these guys over at SA. They said they manufacture the HD (400+ gigs) and processors themself so they can pass the savings on. Yea right.
I was hoping to see if they had the "laser guided monitor, Or the reverse rotation harddrives" LOL
did anyone actually try going for it? like the free cable and broadband? i really want to hear the feedback, i mean the "funny" feedback!
