Just in case you want a super-laptop, go-l.com continues...

[Suhit Gupta]

So I have been looking at Go-L's (http://www.go-l.com) line (http://www.go-l.com/laptops/index.htm) of laptops for some time now. But my favorite by far has to be their Hollywood (http://www.go-l.com/laptops/hollywood_silver/features/index.htm). Some of the mesmerizing features include -
- 17" WXGA 1440-by-900 pixels
- 3.40GHz Intel® Pentium 4
- 512K L2 Cache
- 800MHz System Bus
- Up to 2GB of 433MHz DDR Memory
- Up to 80GB of 7200rpm HD
- ATI Radeon™ 9600 PRO AGP 128MB DDR Memory
- COMBO (DVD-ROM/CD-RW), or high-speed 2x DVD-Burner (DVD-R/-RW)
- Integrated CCD Video camera
- Built-in 4 Surround speakers plus Subwoofer
- Optional Internal Wireless LAN 802.11b
- Optional Internal Bluetooth Multi-Channel
- Internal 10/100/1000 LAN
- etc, etc, etc...

So if cost and weight are no matter, then this laptop is for you. (I wonder what the battery life on this sucker is?)

PS - I have already posted about their monitor and laptop, don;t miss the rest of their product line, very sexy. They are like the Apple of the PC world (it all starts with their website of course ;-)).

I always thought that this company is a hoax.....

I honestly dont think that they exist based on the technology they have :?

[Suhit Gupta]

So my initial response to was going to be "umm ok? how did you come to that conclusion?"

However I did some google searches and found that there are other people that believe this is a hoax too. But it doesn't really seem clear one way or the other yet. There were several comments about the fact that this company's site has a broken e-commerce system, but apparently they have fixed it now. I went all the way through their system, stopping just short of actually buying a product (maybe the problem arises immediately after). There is also some confusion about who is actually running the place and his true history and credentials. But I am not yet convinced that their system is entirely a hoax. Has anyone heard one way or the other?

ok
http://www.go-l.com/desktops/machl38/features/index.htm

go there and look at the specs.

They dont exist!

They've had the 3.8mhz pc for the last year :lol:

[Janak Parekh]

They dont exist!
It's an overclocked 3.2GHz chip. This review (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/products/story/0,24330,3589077,00.html) seems to imply they do indeed exist... but check out the video on the website -- whether or not it's available to end-users is up in the air.

[Suhit Gupta]

Yeah, the 3.8GHz doesn't prove their non-existence. Any other evidence? I spent a fair bit of time on their site now but I still can't find any glaring evidence of their hoaxness...

they had the EE cpu before it was annonced....i remember that from reading forums a while back.

Dont you think apple would have told them not to copy thier design by now?

I don't, but you might be right...

If that was the case, the site would be down, company or no company.

Watch the Screensavers review first... I like their take on it -- these guys are "boutique" retailers.

There was a lot of suspicion about this company when they first launched, and indeed, much of what they were saying seemed too good to be true. They have a lot of style, but much of their marketing is fluff - they come up with "hypercool" terms to describe normal technology. A recent issue of Maximum PC had a full review of one of their computers. It benchmarked quite high, and had a price to match. Me, I'd prefer a Voodoo from www.voodoopc.com :D

[Jason Dunn]

Nah, it's because Voodoo computers kick ass, and look sooooo damn good. But they're super expensive too...maybe if I win the lottery! :roll:

Hey Gary,
Looks like you have cranked the Mach 3.8 all the way to the max. Looks sweet :). Of course, I like that you chose a 3 year warranty from a company you still don't believe exists. :lol: (just pulling your leg there)

Also with that cost, it's like, do you want this computer or a BMW? ;-)

Suhit

[Gary Sheynkman]

or an s2000 with 10k in mods...muahahah


If they DID exist (im still very sceptical) would people actually buy these? For about 10 grand I can have a quad zeon pc maxed out in EVERYTHING (like a 1gb pro video card..etc etc etc)according to today's standards from cdw.

Im all for spending money on pointless things (believe me) but you can get so much more for so much less!
