    Is this a scam? Probably is.

    Hey all:

    I found this deal online. I was not sure at all. From what I know...the Ader Ferrari does not offer Pentium M as an option and there is no 3.0 GHZ in Pentium M.

    The price for this and the Ferrari 3200 are awesome. The specs on the ferrari 3200 are right but I have a feeling that this is not actually a legit web site.

    They have "cnet verified" logo on the home page but I could not find the site on CNET.

    Ram.

    Doesn't seem like the specs are correct. Isn't the Acer Ferrari series powered by AMD processors... not Pentium M?
