They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but this is ridiculous. Even the website has the same format as apple's, with the metallic brush template. Sick. Oh well, it was only a matter of time. Here's the link:

Edit:
Holy crap balls. It has a built in camera... GRRRRR. MY POWERBOOK IS STILL BETTER!

There is a great deal of speculation that go-l.com is a hoax

Well, if it is real I must say that they are offering some pretty impressive hardware. I would never buy one for myself of course ;-) The resolution on the 15" (~2048x1600) is outrageous! Check out the weight though... They are all pretty heavy when compared to a Powerbook.

You can most definately get these things cheaper at other places. Problem is, even then all 3 of their notebooks are seriously lacking in battery life AND WEIGHT.
That 17" weighs 9lbs.

That's hilarious!  They've even put the same ticker bar on their website! (Insert evil laughter here)

Somebody in that company was sitting at a conference table one day and announced, "We should be the "Apple" of the PC industry!"
Good grief. I bet u the owner of the company owns a Mac. It's kind of pathetic that they stole the look and feel of the website, but apparently they think that's an important part of their faux Apple business plan.

That site has already been discredited, but in a good way - it's someone's portfolio for their website design (you should be able to hunt on the site for credits to that effect). The specs are so unrealistic that I'm surprised anyone has been taking them seriously to begin with.

True, but not Sager, bought a couple of top of the line PC laptops from them before I switched to Macs.

yeah, one spec that sounded realistic was the thickness of the 17" laptop. 1.7 "
hmmm...
