L-Technologies stops PCs being boring
L-Technologies stops PCs being boring according to the Inquirer. Some on the PC forums are going gaga too over this.

Lemme just say that I'm QUITE amused.

A 1440 x 900 pixel display in a laptop?
I wish Apple would stop dragging their heels and come out with something like that. Just imagine... a 17" laptop!

That was some really familiar Apple look over their web site.
Mach 3.8 r000lllzz!!! The G5 sucks!!! And everything else sucks too!
If you look real hard you'll notice that they're illiterate too...
Or, maybe they, just like, commas.

I know lots of people with Dell Inspirons that have a native res of 1600*1200.
I love how their site is even "inspired" by Apple's.

Impressive, but what's the point? 1600 x 1200 on a 15"? Doesn't everything (icons, text, tray, etc.) get a little small?
This seems to be the way threads about these machines progress on other sites too, except now with a Mac bent to it... LOL
They reckon they're creative...
The website is a copy of Apple's.
Way to go, web designers.. way to go creativity!
Other than that, the specs of the high-end machines look rather nice.
35% are x86/Windows and 20% are Mac developers (out of 100 staff).. check the about page, which takes a while to load.

The thread is getting closer, but not quite there yet...
When I first saw the website I thought it was a joke...well, that hasn't changed as I still think it's a joke. Anyway, what are people thinking when they do things like that? I mean, even the "news" section is the same place as it is at the Apple site.
I wasn't aware Apple made a single 2Ghz machine

I called the phone number and asked to speak to the web designer. 
Can't believe its a real number and someone answered though...

They just disabled the other processor for the test to be fair to compare a 2 GHz G5 to a 3.2 GHz P4.

Actually, the Apple single 2.0 SPEC scores ARE 100% accurate.It's exactly what Apple publishes on its site. SPECint 800 and SPECfp 840. And yes, to get this score they actually physically removed one of the processors. See here.
Anyways, it seems that some here get it and some don't...

They kept asking why, finally I was "transferred" and no one picked up. Calling again today as soon as they open.

It's particularly interesting to see Mac people in this thread use the L-Technologies site to bash Apple.
If it's a hoax (which it certainly looks like), then it's pretty elaborate. I look forward to hearing the true story about all of this.

I think he thinks it's a joke...at least I do.
it probably is a joke.
am about to go on an afternoon mission to locate maximum resolution in a resonably priced pc laptop, my only concern here.... since i want to buy a powerbook.
edit: research stop #1 dell.com
Vibrant 15.4" UltraSharpTM_ Wide Aspect WUXGA active matrix (TFT) display (native resolution of 1920x1200 pixels)
and yes i'm turning this into another of my apple lcd rant threads, sorry, it'll end right here.

Well so do I, but it must be one hell of a joke, getting a real 1-800 number and different people to answer it each time I call it.

Also, they typed one hell of a bit of information on every page, and the story behind their logo, etc.
7000+$ is a lot of money. So where is the internetco0ck picture?
Well, I can't completely rule out a scam, but I think it's just a (well-executed) joke, mainly because of stuff like this:

It still floors me though how many people think it's legitimate.
