Has anyone heard of this place?

A good friend of mine is looking for the best price on a macbook and he ran across this website. I think it seems shady. Normally with the internet, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Any first hand knowledge of the place would be greatly appreciated.

I'd stay away from ordering anything from that site. The setup and layout of the site turns me off. Very unprofessional looking with absolutely no info about the company. And I've never heard of them.

Tell him to purchase only from an authorized Apple reseller or from the on line Apple store.

That business is not listed in the Boston, MA yellow pages where they claim the headquarters exist.

The site is hosted in Cyprus.

If there's a shadier looking outfit on the interwebs, I've never seen it.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

I agree. I'm going to go ahead and remove the web link. I'd hate for someone to get ripped off because of the link I posted.
