Not too sure about that `website`. It looks pretty shoddy to me, just one page with a lot of generic content and dummy text and a too-good-to-be-true offer slapped on top.
It may be a genuine - but badly advertised - offer, but I wouldn`t be taking it up even if I were desperate for a new laptop.

agreed, don`t touch it with a bargpole, any company just just sues a single large format jpg with none clicky links, advertises other more expensive laptops in the background, but doesn`t let you view any details, the search box is fake, the CC & Debit card icons are none checkable, the more info tabs etc are just part of the overall picture & not interactive (ie, you can`t actually click them)

at best, amateurs, at worst, & frankly more probable, Phishers, hoping you will phone up & order a laptop, that they ain`t got, but will love to have a play with your bank/CC details.

avoid like the plague.......

Looks like a scam to me.
You can see registrant info at:

Even the web-design link at the bottom isn`t a hyperlink!
Cyberzia (the claimed web designers) are based in the same area as the OEG site owner; their site looks ok (www.cyberzia.net).

Same item available from e-bay at £250.00 inc. VAT and delivery which isn`t too different from £199.00 ex VAT. This is from Stone Computers:

http://store.stonecomputers.co.uk/cms/contact_information.php

who`s telephone no. is the same as OEG Computer Sales but have the same item for £400+.

Look at the latin in the background. The website is formed from a website template.

Either it`s:
a) Dodgy
b) Being constructed from this template, and it`s a dummy page
c) Being used for SEO, and helping to boost their main site

No matter what, stay away from this site until you know more about the computer. Stone Computers themselves, actually look legit.

Place I used to work at bought from Stone all the time...

They are on eBay as well http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160196871895&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006 feedback looks good albeit not very much.. and what I forgot to mention was my mate bought one couple of weeks back, had a quick peek at it and it doesn`t look too bad for the money. Just wanted some feedback on what the hardware was like and the VIA CPU etc etc......
