So who'd want a MacBook. Quad DVI, Dua Optical Drives, 2 SATA drives.
Battery life must be excellent.

as if it weren't fake enough, HDTV isn't PAL or NTSC, it's ATSC

And why no 802.11n? or wireless USB? and tell me how you fit five surround speakers in a laptop?

Even being a huge joke, it got FireWire 800, FireWire is not dead !!

BTW the PowerBook 3400 had four speakers, right?

I remember both a Mac Tower and Powerbook that had a built in subwoofer.

actually, it's not a joke.
This company caused quite the controversy last year since most of their products were (specs-wise)... "ahead of their time", however -no one- has ever actually seen any of their products.
It was even contacted by Forbes and MacCentral, both were assured the company was legit.

Many called BS on it, others investigated taking the domain registration as a starting point. They concluded it was a scam.
Anyway, it sopposedly went bankrupt last year, but later they announced they found an investor and had a very exciting lineup of upcoming products.

Yeah right. Its a hoax, a fabrication, a lie, whatever you want to call it. Either way, it isn't real. And it won't be real, probably ever. I don't care if you how many investors you have there is no way you can build a laptop like that with existing technologies. Unless you want to make it as big as an iMac, probably bigger.

Tower, I give you that. But in a laptop, there is hardly enough space for a good bass sound to develop. They might call it subwoofer, but I've never seen any that give a good punch at below 100 Hz.

It was the performa 6400:

And I THINK the Powerbook 3400. The specs say "4 speakers" and I remember it had this strange hump and slit on the back of the lid.

I owned a 3400, it stated it had a sub woofer, and it did weigh about 10 pounds but never did it produce a sound soothing to a human ear.

Maybe I didn't choose the right tone for my previous post but your's sounds a lot like I actually think you can build the laptop in the pic.

"PCI-Express CardBus." Don't think so. CardBus = PCI, not PCI express.
"Solid state system drive." Yeah, sure.
20" OLED screen? Maybe 2.0" OLED, sure. Not 20"
This is nothing but a joke and/or a hoax. The "specs" are just a bunch of buzzwords stuck together.

Nothing to see here... move along.

gotta love their displays as well.
