    Okay,
    Zepto seems like the laptop manufacturer for me but looking at their site each one is extremely customisable up to the point that you can get almost the same build on many different chassis.

    However, since they all get similar specs, is the chassis the only difference between all of these numbers? If that is the case then I would suppose 6224W is most ideal for me since I require a portable games machine that I can bring home and plug my monitor in to use as a desktop too. Power consumption and aesthetics (including the screen) are largely irrelevant to me though I would like a good build quality.

    But here it gets confusing: If I want portable then the 6324W seems equally as good! In fact all the customising options are almost exactly the same! What is the relative benefits or either chassis? It makes no mention of what each contain and what they would be better for. You would assume that the gamer edition is better for gaming, but it's just a different colour. The whole process is not explained very clearly and not helped by horribly similar abstract numbers for each.

    Another thing: the site mentions 'value' and 'power' options for each, with little discernable difference between the two, and in fact when customising the differences disappear except for some price discrepancy. In fact for the 6224W the 'power' option is significantly cheaper than 'value'. What is it for?

    Also is the T7250 the best CPU avaliable for the 6224?

    Apologies for what is just a large list of questions but I saw that zepto reps come on here sometimes so I thought I'd hope that one of them can help me!

    As an aside, I don't suppose there will be some kind of after-christmas pricedrop? :D

    This is asked so many times...

    6224W and 6324W are exactly the same in hardware, only the chassis-color is different!

    The answers for the rest of your questions are easy to find in the topics...

    As said, the chassis color is the only difference, the inside is exactly the same.
    The reason why POWER is the cheapest, is that Zepto has a large discount offer on the 6224 POWER, which makes it even cheaper than the VALUE.
    The 7250 CPU is at the moment the best CPU sold for the 6X24 notebooks. I belive the reasons why have been explained by Zepto in here, in some earlier threads. As a sidenote, I have had a 2.4GHz T7700 in my 6224 which worked fine, although it got quite hot. I have now jumped down to a less powerfull but less powerconsuming T7300 2.0GHz, which works just as fine. I only lost 100 points in 3Dmark06 by doing that. And I haven´t really noticed any FPS drops in games either. The only thing the T7250 needs is a bigger L2 Cache like the T7300 ;)

    CLB-NL, If it's been asked so many times then it's obviously a confusing point of their site, as I said. The fact that a customer rep goes on here might make some headway in getting that fixed. It's called customer feedback?

    Soveposen, thank you! It is a little strange that they would have a discount on one but not the other. Also their website no longer gives an option to have a T7300 which just has a larger cache.

    No it's called stupidity of the user :eek:
    Here at NBR it is asked so many times that you have could used the searched to find the answers on all your questions! Nice as I am I answered your fist :D

    Actually it is not wird at all. Some times it all depends on how big mount there is in stock of the particular bone ;)
    And for your second question. Why don't you call one of our salesmen and order a notebook, we might just have a couple of T7300 in stock for you anyway as far as I remember :rolleyes:

    Hi can somebody explain me what is the difference between the different keyboards mentioned for Znote 6224W?

    170078 Keyboard Znote 6x14W Black
    170106 Keyboard Znote 6x14W - BE - Black
    170076 Keyboard Znote 6x14W Black

    Is it that the silver lining will not be there for just the black version? IS it possible to see some pictures of these different keyboards?

    Sorry for bothering you guys. Thanks in advance.

    The silver lining around the edges of the bone has nothing to do with the keyboard. The only difference in the keyboards you mention should be the language. Even though it is possible to put a white keyboard in the black 6224 bone.
    If I rembember correctly the 170078 is US Language, the 170076 is Norwegian and the 170106 might be Belgium.

    FYI: We do in fact have a very limited amount of T7300 CPUs in stock, but under 10 so they wont last long
