There is an unbelievable deal on that laptop on internetshopworld that sounds like too good to be true.
Did anyone had any experience with the company in USA?
They do not accept credit cards and want an advance cash payment to an account in UK. Looks like a fraud - but if anyone has a way to check legitimacy of the seller - please let me know.
Thank you.

Hmm... They seem to have dissapered.:P
Please note if you want a cheaop one of these see my topic on this laptop.

£1000 cheaper???
This is by no way a scam etc i have found a similar cheaper reputable laptop for less, if you look there are a few big names selling it!!! I am note selling or advertising(well not being paid for advertising anyway)
By the way, for anyone looking at this laptop may i remind you that the Acer Aspire 5101AWLMI Notebook is very simmilar once you take the thousand pound price gap. The processor in the ferrari is slightly more power conservative(hence the mL instead of mK) but does not seem to affect battery life by only half an hour They have the same proccessing power. if you want battery life get a univesal battery. Though the aspires spec indicates a x300 graphics card there is a cheaper model (same name £100 less) has an ATI RADEON Xpress 1100 add 512 ram to that(to make it 1 Gb) and you have got a better graphics card(i assume) than the more expensive model (the ferrari looks to have dedicated 128mb graphics better than both).(the hard drive is less on that one(60Gb) but if you really need more get an external hard drive or replace the one included)
the Acer Aspire 5101AWLMI - 2GHz Turion 64 MK-36, 1GB DDR2, 100GB, DVD±RW DL, Windows XP Media Center Edition, 15.4" TFT - http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=25813895
(£500)
The cheaper model(better graphics) - 2.0GHz Turion 64 MK-36, 512MB DDR2, 60GB, DVD±RW, Windows XP, 15.4" TFT - http://www.pricegrabber.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=26585722
(£400)
Please note i suspect neither of these are dual core, there is a mistake in 2GHz Turion 64 MK-36 thinking it is 2GHz Turion 64 X2 MK-36
If the Acer Aspire 5101AWLMI has what you need i would suggest it over this one. The Ferrari does have bluetooth and infrared but those aren't very expensive usd devices either.
Any other comments are welcome.
(hmm.. enter doesent seem to work, therefor the unruly squashing together)
