If you step down to a regular 3.2C, and step back to 1GB of DDR433 (Come on...Does anyone really need 2GB?), you can get their extreme laptop for less than $4k.
Oooooh, sweet stuff. Makes me wish I didn't order my shuttle.....

Uh... guys, I hate to break it to you but these laptops are nothing new. That 15" is identical to my laptop... they're just another company that uses Clevo as their OEM... just like Alienware (they used to anyhow), Sager, Fosa, and Voodoo, along with others.
Check out www.powernotebooks.com if you're interested in them- the equivalent Sager is probably cheaper than these guys are, and PowerNotebooks is an excellent company.

but the point is that, those notebooks looks nicer.

Read the specs on the 3.8GHz system- it says it can have up to 74 pci slots and a terabyte of hd-less storage. This means one (or more) of a few things:
1. I misread/misunderstood what they were saying
2. They made a typo (or a few)
3. The company is a scam
it's a joke guys, if you didn't notice. read all their stuff.
all the marketing is just designed to sound like apple and be funny because it's like apple.
i hope someday there is a true competitor to apple in terms of design. it's pathetic that not a single pc manufacturer makes a computer that looks anywhere near as cool as apples.

They are, as I've said, the same things... and they (Powernotebooks) do exist. I'm typing this on the NP5620 I bought from them last June.

And Thrax, that's why I said it might be a hoax. I know for a fact that that particular chassis is only available in the configuration Sager is offering it in right now, which means that anyone offering it with DDR400 and a 9600 is either BSing or doing pre-orders...
I was just checking at Sagernotebooks and they don't have a model that exactly corresponds with this one. Their model with the 17" screen runs on a 533 fsb, not 800 fsb. Their 800 fsb model has a 16" screen, max resolution of 1280X1024 and if you configure it similarly to this one, it's about the same price.
Nice looking lappy though, wish I could afford one like that.:)

Mudd, just so you know, my opinion about the 17" they have is in the post just above yours... I'll quote it here too:

Can someone loan me about $8,000?
not to mention the amazing similarity in design from their site to apple.com but , very nice laptops anyway

<h1><b><i><u><font color="red"><blink>EXACT SAME THING</blink></font></u></i></b></h1>
They're made by the same company (Clevo)
They have the same chassis
The same colors
The same internals
The only difference is the logo on the lid.
DDR433 or DDR400 (Sager 17" only features DDR333)
2GB memory densities
Radeon 9600 mobile
Moreover, as Identically featured as I can make it, the L notebooks offer more performance in their models than Sager does.
