    I saw the Zepto Znote G14B on the Zepto USA site and was really interested although it did seemed a bit heavy it comes with nice specs. What I really was interested in though was on the customizatino screen, what exactly is the difference between the two screen selections and are either of them LED backlit. Furthermore the quoted battery life is around 2 hours. Is that typical or was the screen brightness at 0 with no wi-fi? Finally, what exactly is the difference between this and the Nox A14. The Zepto USA site basically lists them with the exact same specs.

    It's pretty much the same as Nox A15, it may have some minor changes but it's based on the same machine. 2 hour battery life is a typical, my Nox A15 lasts approx that with normal battery and 3.5 hours with power battery.

    the G14B is the Nox A14 with docking station support. Also you can choose between a WXGA and WXGA+ screen. At this moment we don't have these screen in LED.
    At this time the G14B is the fastest 14.1" gaming laptop with docking support on this globe. And furthermore the only 14.1" gaming laptop fully configurable.

    2 hours is based on a lot of different things but with wireless off and brightness turned down, as long as im not playing a game or watching a movie its much longer.

    Yes... the G14B is an updated A14 with docking support. Apparently, some concerns discussed on this site concerning the A14 have been addressed in the G14B. Mine will be delivered in a few days.
