    Found it. I'm suspicious a bit. Any ideas? I'm very tempted if it isn't a scam..

    Poorly designed website, and seems a bit dodgy overall looks like their just trying to get hits, with the 'share link, get 5 clicks' thing.
    Coffee isn't my cup of tea.

    Was about 99% sure it was, to be honest, but thought I'd post out of curiosity

    Read the help page. Notice that the page name is tos.php. Next, notice that the "laptops" are referred to as iPads twice. If there is any truth in this site, the application suite pre-installed will contain code which will steal your personal information. You wouldn't expect ads on the site either.

    That looks very suspicious doesn't it?

    I'd say its a "scam" or just a way to get good traffic.
