Tom's Hardware Investigates Michael's Computers

Posted by timothy on from the more-than-questions dept.

cojsl writes "Tom's Hardware has an extensive article raising questions about Michael's Computers and their claims of a laptop with a "3DMark03 Average Score - 15,417"." It gets funnier as you go along.

    Jesus. It's just more snake oil, I'm not even sure how it constitutes "news". And as the claim of hitting 17,000+ in the 3DMark03 test, well, I think we all know about the validity of 3DMark03 (can you say NVIDIA???). I guess my point is, if Slashdot is going to run a story on every internet based scam-ola, they better lay on some staff. And if you are stupid enough to fall for the pie-in-the-sky computer deal, you deserve what you get.

    From the Tom's story: "I was thinking, WOW!!! I want this laptop!" Yeh baby! I want to fly the Space Shuttle too, think it's a possibility? And speaking of "Tom's Hardware", I thought it was the Slashdot consensus that ole' Tom was in it for the free toys. Ever consider that maybe, just maybe Michael's refused to spot Tommy a free laptop for a positive story?
