6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-me-on-the-review-list-for-those dept.

Stuk writes "Research & development company AtomChip have announced a new 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD laptop, which is "coming soon". Apparently it does not use a hard disc, instead it is based on "solid state AtomChip® optoelectronics". A new "non-volatile Quantum-Optical" type of RAM is used. Other features include voice commands, "Num Lock mode, Caps Lock mode, Scroll Lock mode". They're spoiling us." If Nintendogs has taught me anything, it's that voice recognition is awesome and should be used for everything. *cough*. And also to be skeptical of this many buzzwords.

    If you're not convinced, just check out the video http://www.compu-technics.com/images/solar memory.WMV.

    Only an idiot would think that was fake. ARE YOU AN IDIOT??!?

    And it only requires 1.2 Jiggawatts of electricity for the flux capacitor!

      Actually, power usage for this laptop, according to spec, is very low.

      "Battery Life: Approximately 8 hours for AtomChip® Quantum® II processor" ... and the battery back is a 6-cell Li unit.

      OTOH, I suspect that the true power usage for this laptop will be zero.

      Seeing as vaporware doesn't actually draw any current.

  5. The sound you just heard... by Rude+Turnip · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...was everyone's bullshit detectors exploding in glorious unison. The earlier thread on OSNews has thoroughly debunked this device as a hoax. All you need to know is that 32-bit Windows XP only supports 16 gigs of RAM and this claims to have 1 terabyte of RAM.

    And this, gentlemen, is why I don't pay for a subscription to Slashdot.

      While certainly a hoax, it's an unusually thorough one. Check out their appearance as a CES Innovations 2005 Awards Honoree.

    Obviously fake, but as anyone looked at the rest of the website? It's hilarious!
