Hello list, Does any of you have an update on this? My brother is contemplating buying a computer now, and he came across their advert. If anyone has one of those, I'd love to get in touch and hear any comments, for better or worse. The one downside that I already discovered is that at least one of their resellers advertise using SPAM. I'm going to report it to the company and see how they handle it.
