    I was thinking about getting this laptop online and was browsing through Google's shopping list for it when I came across this laptop for $944.

    The catch:
    The site is in Indonesia but deals in US dollars.
    There are no reviews for this site that I can find.
    And it is not listed what condition the said laptop is in or if it has a warranty.

    Check it out Here.

    What do you guys think?

    I was hoping someone else would be the guinea pig first. :D

    They DO have a profile with a rating site so that is kind've positive only no one has written a review yet.

    EDIT: This is what it says on the home page:
    "All of our products are currently in BRAND NEW with Genuine Factory sealed, come with original box and accessories, and We give a warranty aside the manufacturer warranty to cover the products up to 1 year duration.. Shipped to you directly from our warehouse."

    The site has only been online for a few days. It accepts Credit Card. Has a McAfee Secure certification.

    And another site has the exact same layout and similar product, and seem to be the same owner. http://everything-berry.com/store/index.php

    I believe once you send them your money you wont ever see your product. To risky to even think of buying from them.

    Exactly. Which, if the OP does decide to go with them, they should definitely use a CC for the buyer's protection.

    Sometimes it's better to spend more and know you will get your product. If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is (except on black friday).
