This obviously has nothing to do with real computers. It may be good for a laugh in Hot Deals.

haha i ordered one w/ cash payment. LoL

I haven't tried calling that number. I wonder if it's even real.

 

[Freejack2]

It's got to be some kind of joke. It's too obviously insane. I think at max, they may be able to do 120gb on a 2.5" drive, but it's probably still just in a lab somewhere.
There is no way to pack a dual xeon board, and the processors into a laptop case without a major meltdown. Even if they did somehow manage to get this thing to work it would weigh like 20lbs, suck batteries dry like there is no tomorrow, and cost more than an average car.

 

[pavan87]

The number works but it is open at this time. That seems odd and it is located in Nevada but you can't pick it up because it is shipped from the warehouse. YEA RIGHT!

 

[SirMack]

Well, I just called the toll free number and some guy on, what sounded like a CELL PHONE picked up and was all saying how they are open 24 hours a day and i called at 3am Eastern Time. He gave me their "Official" website and asked what products I was interested in. Their 'official' website is the following:

http://www.worldcoreonline.com/home

I don't know of many companies that are open 24/7, and I also don't know of many 'professional' level companies that answer their calls on a cell phone, but who knows. I ordered a $350.00 system and chose to pay with CASH. Don't know how they would enforce that unless its C.O.D., but hell, if I really got a system like that I would be happy to pay that.

Any thoughts?

 

[XeonTux]

wow thats my kind of laptop... if it existed

BTW, I think the P4 1.8GHz Xeons have 512k cache not 2MB...just more proof they are on crack

 

[FruityFruit]

I think they forgot to add a 0.....

 

[jimmygates]

Um...all three computer lines have the same specs?



-Jimbo

 

[Hook]

They are a Microsoft bCentral merchant. They have a more professional looking area on bCentral. The prices on the desktop PCs are also a couple hundred higher on bCentral.

Product List

There is a link to a company description on the product page also.

All three of their products are out of stock on the bCentral site.

They also have a couple products on MSN Marketplace. They are also both sold out...

 

[loup garou]

ROFL!!! Yeah, dual 1.8 Xeons...480 GB HD....4.5 GB RAM....in a notebook.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

 

[kissdisap]

Bit the bullet and ordered one....Cash payment of course. They said they do offer next day shipping but it would be approx. 5-10 business days before it would be shipped because they need to 'configure' it

 

[bootasmic]

I called the guy up just now...and it's 4AM CST!

He answered and I was like, "dude, this is a scam you know"

"a 450GB HD....that doesn't exist in a laptop" He was like, "we manufacture our own parts"

hahahahahaha....either these guys are better than Maxtor, IBM, WD, etc....or they are a scam

I told him the parts cost was way way more than $660.....to that he responded...again...."we manufacture our own parts"

I again told him this was a scam...he said "well see"...see what....you going to jail....

that guy is stupid for offering a phone number!

 

[justdad]

Wish upon a star.....

 

[justdad]

Why have some of you ordered?? this is so obviously a scam. go to intel and look at the xeon processors here call intel and you will see that this is bull. the best xeon out there is 1mb cache and where did they get a 480gb hard drive. wake up and smell the horse sh.t.
These are outrages claims by dishonest people. Now that I have said that lets see that company sue me. What do you think.... Oh well have a great weekend all. The only 2mb cache are from what I see the p3 xeons which do not go up to 1.8ghz

 

[jackywebdesign]

hmm... toll free #=charge by the minute for him.... let's spam him!
