How they haven't been sued for some kind of fraud yet I have no idea.]]>Oct 20th 2006 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/
Then I realized that you could never configure one of those dumbass machines the way you wanted, that made it seem like a Mac or Vaio. Then I realized that they never had prices on them.

And then I saw how the technology for PURERAM drives was only being developed by Gigabyte like 5 months ago, and it kinda pissed me off to think that a company like L actually still has websites available to view. I tried to look for a solid address so I could burn the broom closet they set up shop in to the ground if you could do that. Besides, the broom closet might be in a building of a company I actually like, ATI or Gigabyte, and I wouldn't want to be responsible to the destruction of a company that actually exists and makes cool stuff.]]>Oct 20th 2006 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/
There is a great story in last months' Wired about Stephan Erikkson, from Gizmondo. He and his cohorts have been pulling scams like this for years. One of the heads of Gizmondo, started Xero Wireless, which is another scam to get investors. ]]>Oct 20th 2006 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 20th 2006 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 21st 2006 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 20th 2006 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 20th 2006 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 20th 2006 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 20th 2006 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 21st 2006 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/Oct 21st 2006 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/
Sure it did, it's Clevo laptop, also sold by Sager and Boxx Technologies. Anyone who bough into L's BS are morons.

Also, how come I don't see bashing of Alienware and VoddooPC.. laso Clevo machines for 5x the price of sager and no more than a paint job and hyped specs... GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

I simply don't get this consistently ridiculous bashing on a company that basically everyone seems to want and put down. Don't we all want better computers or is it that everyone's happy with a Dell or an Apple, nor more than a wanna-be Intel machine anyway??? How about having one small company raise from the crowds and actually do something that is ahead of everyone else? How about letting them do their job and hopefully see if they manage come back, and what their new products will really be like? I am so over this non-stop bash against these guys. I admire their stamina... personally if I was in this business and people put me down the way I see everyone do with these folks... gosh, I would have given up long ago...]]>Oct 21st 2006 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/"such a laptop couldn't be feasible for under $20k within the next few years"

it's totally feasible today XD]]>Aug 21st 2007 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/20/ls-quad-core-laptop-with-24-hour-battery-will-ship-when-heck-fr/http://www.maxvision.com/ruggedcomputers/maxpac8230xra3.aspx

hardly encased in a convenient portable format that a typical laptop user is accustomed to nowadays.. unless you are a mobile government intel type.. in which case.. tax dollars will buy this system for you. Ruggedized, portable, triple 20.1" display, 12gb ddr2 ecc ram, 4- 1TB sata300 drives with raid option... all bells and whistles currently available (at least online) through them would cost a nice $35,242.00... And that is with a 64bit OS.


hmmm.. perhaps if they replaced the processors with two or more quad processors and add some high speed and capacity SSD drives, or some equally impressive unique storage medium based on 3-d crystal holography and of course on non-microsoft based OS.. It would be worth the $35k... ]]>Nov 1st 2007 10:55PM
