I can't, honestly, believe it. The pictures would be far too easy to fake.

I shall dream well tonight, with my little 5 year old hand-me-down Thinkpad humming in the corner of the room...

Not only do I refuse to belive, but my eyes refuse to belive.
The screenshot of the properties has the G from GB replaced with a T. It would of been more beliveable if he replaced the entire size to about 1 or 2 TB.
And on the image of the 'processor' had the words (badly) superimposed over the chip. The chip is on a slight angle, and the words appear to be straight.
While we're in a beliving mood:
Lookit! The new PS3!
Edit: The site advertising the new laptop was also advising the ps3 image I linked you to, but now they've updated it.

*Drools* And I don't even know what those specs mean.

Scientific American has published a bunch of articles on "quantum computing". Most of them say something like: "The theory is really cool and if we work really hard we might get it working in the lab in another few years, maybe..."
Of course, were I actually to believe in this presenters Photoshop skillz, I'd want to see a thermal map. That would be interesting. I assume the same passive cooling system they used for the railguns in Doom?
Veloren, that image rocks. Who says home-modders can't advance the state of the art?

I don't know about you guys, But I always thought the two previous incarnations of the Playstation could have been infinitely improved by a rubber duckie attachment... I'm glad Sony have seen sense...

I took one look at it and didn't even need to read the specs, just looking at the 'graphics' I could see where and how it was photoshoped. Shoot I could make my MAC-G5 appear to have that much...

THe 6.8GHz rating comes from 1.7X4.
nothing here is production model, but it's feasible, at least.
They're talking about solid-state RAM chips and Hard drives. I can see how that would help with heat on the hard drive (no moving parts) but would need to study the RAM specs in greater detail.
Basically, we could be looking at the prototype of an invention here on which they've loaded Windows XP. We'd have to see benchmark testing to know if it is really that much faster, or how well windows would handle disks that size.
On the other hand, it could well be a hoax. But it doesn't have to be.

Of course it's a hoax; a project like this doesn't just pop out of the ground one day, having trumped the average user's RAM by three orders of magnitude and passed the 4Ghz limit for a consumer machine. And if they did have that kind of technology, why on earth would they put it on a laptop?

You bring up an interesting point. A processor that far advanced, beyond any form of commercially available processors would need a cooling system atleast larger then a small lap-top case can handle. By the looks of it that laptop has nothing more advanced then a basic cooling system. there's no way that'd even work.

I wanted to point out that the processor is not 6.8Ghz all by itself; it is four 1.7GHz processors.
The company explains that using solid-state components in the processor produces less heat by-product. I don't personally know enough about solid-state stuff to comment.
