And you all miss the really crappy graphics chip it uses. Renders it useless for games or anything 3D. The design I find dull aswell. I wouldn't buy it. The site also looks cheesy. Although I did find a few things interesting....namely the solid state HDD, and the fast processor. I wonder if we will ever see any benches on this system, to compare with other processors.
If this is not a joke, then it is certainly a big step forward.
In the mean time, one of these should do:

The one you posted is example of investor fraud. You really have to watch out for stuff aimed at consumers: such as www.go-l.com much more believable and professional but a scam none the less.

It doesn't say if it is or isn't a hoax. Just that it most likely is.

At any rate here's a link which includes the email of the CEO of Atom Chip, he's the guy that registered the above patent who feels like emailing him? I can't help but think some of this may be true.

Hi Shimon
Greetings from Johannesburg. Details of a laptop apparently designed by your company Atom Chip as seen at http://atomchip.com/_wsn/page4.html have been under discussion at a forum here in SA, http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=26736&page=1&pp=15
So now were trying to figure out if this laptop is a hoax or not. I’d really appreciate your comments as regards the validity of the specs that are claimed and would greatly appreciate your comments in the above mentioned thread of the forum.
Thanks in advance for your response.
