I doubt it, but, if it is, then it is AWESOME. I am amazed that they can that much into that size of Laptop.

After thinking about it, I seriously doubt it is real. I mean, aren't those specs for Supercomputers which are like several huge Fridges put together in a supercooled room?

I'd love to be wrong, of course, but I just don't believe this. Look through the rest of the site...especially the award links (come on, the Gold Oskar from Bulgaria?). I say this is a hoax.

Edit: Here's an article (http://www.theregister.com/2005/09/07/atom_chip_miracle_machine/) from The Register

For a corporation that supposedly are the first to build such a super-laptop they sure have one crappy looking amateurish website.

it's not a very original hoax either, look at how many of the awards he has won has the word gold in it..

please, as much as I want this to be true it's just not.. there's no hard scientific evidence provided, nothing worthwhile at all.

Yeh, I thought that this was full of BS when I first read it.

But it would be sweet to have 2 terrabytes of harddrive space...
