    Tomorrow I will get a Zepto Mythos to review!
    FINALLY it's there... I've waited very long for it (just like you NBR'ers)

    But when I will pick it up I can make some Zepto Nox pictures also... (they are in stock)

    So are there any specific things on the Zepto Nox you wanted to see!?
    The leds, keyboard, ports, connections... and so on? Post it here :)


    I will review the Zepto Mythos here on NBR!
    I have more than enough time to make pictures of that laptop,
    so first I want to make pictures of the Nox..

    Bookmark this thread, finally some good reallife pictures of the new Zepto's!

    Just take as many photos as you can, some with the camera's flash and some without, and then choose the best.

    Side-by-side views of different screens would be very useful.

    Nice pictures!
    I ordered the nox, but the mythos is looking great too....
    If you had to choose, which one did you choose?

    If i see this pictures, the Mythos is looking shiny like a macbook.
    The Nox isn't really shining.. right?

    Maybe i change my opinion and go for the Mythos....

    I really can't say that! They are both looking great!

    The surface of both laptops is from a sort of rubber/ plastic...
    I can't explain it, but you can compare it with the rubber / plastic
    of the cord of the new iPod headphones... And they aren't shiny!

    Maybe it's because of the flash of the camera.. The surface is kind of raw...


    EDIT: This week I'm gonna make some pictures of the Zepto Mythos in an Apple Store!
    So you can see the differences between the MacBook, MacBook Pro and this Zepto Mythos

    Okay thanks, and quick reply!
    Can I talk dutch here aswell?
    Because i'm dutch myself.
    I think i'll stick with the Zepto Nox.
    Do you know something about the delivering time? How long did you wait for the Zepto Mythos?
    I ordered it 2,5 weeks ago..

    Your Welcome!
    You can talk Dutch here.. (ik kom ook uit Nederland)
    but it is still an international forum so maybe you can try English..

    Ik kan niks zeggen over de levertijden.. Alleen dat Zepto Denemarken,
    veel te weinig exemplaren aan Nederland levert, zodat de orders zich opstapelen.

    Dit is een reviewexemplaar heh, ik werd gisteravond gebeld dat hij vandaag geleverd kon worden,
    dus ikzelf heb er niet op hoeven wachten zeg maar...

    2,5 week geleden besteld... Dan kun je nog wel even wachten hoor =)
    M'n Zepto Znote 6214W kwam na 5 weken, m'n 6224W na 3,5 ofzo...

    Maar ik weet dat wachten irritant is, lang duurt en 't allemaal maar kut is..
    Maar als je je Nox krijgt, ik zweer je dat al je irritaties gelijk verleden tijd zijn!

    G'luck!

    EDIT: Trouwens dit topic weleens gezien: http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1299992

    Ey bedankt voor je reactie!
    Het wachten is inderdaad erg irritant!
    Wil mijn laptop zo snel mogelijk, want was 25 september jarig en daar was hij eig. voor. Wel klote dat die levertijden zo lang zijn.
    Toen ik opbelde dat ik hem zou kopen, zeiden ze, als ik het dan zou doen, dat het 2 tot 3 weken duurde. Dus dat leek me wel redelijk ;). Heb nu 2,5 week gewacht.
    Maarja, ik w8 maar gewoon en bel af en toe hoe het zit.

    Ik heb dat topic cker in de gaten gehouden!
    Veel goede informatie op gevonden.
    Die foto's van jou waren erg fijn om te zien, al die andere foto's waren niet in het echt genomen en was dus niet zo goed te zien hoe het er daadwerkelijk uitzag!

    Maar zoals ik al zei:
    Ik kijk erg uit naar de testresultaten! Keep up the good job!

    Okay, i'll keep it english :)
    I have a question here.
    How hot does it got when you are playing a game? or just surfing on the internet? I heard that the nox/mythos have a fan problem? :confused: :(

    I want to know how much noise it makes and how hot the laptop gets...

    Thanks!

    Amazingly nice temperatures! I've seen the 66 degrees Celcius when playing Crysis under full load.. My own 6224W gets the 100 degrees Celcius easily =)

    The noise is also quite nice!

    BUT I'm not gonna answer any questions about the Mythos anymore in this topic... You just have to wait on my review ;)

    Okay, sounds fantastic :D

    One other question, i found this on www.zeptoshop.nl:

    ''Zepto ondersteunt het gebruik van de Low Power Intel P Serie processor met Dual Core processing wat een batterijduur tot 5,5 uur van uw Zepto Nox oplevert, ongeacht het grafische gebruik. ''

    It says you can use low power intel p serie processor with dual core processing or something, and you can have a battery of 5,5 hours?
    Is this true?

    The Dutch review is finally ready...
    But if I wanna post it here I have to translate it...
    And the forum-HTML-language is different here so I have to adjust many things...

    Hopefully it will be posted today...

    Thanks for this very nice review!
    I got a lot of answers now :D
    My only real big con is the battery time.
    1:55 is too low, so I maybe need another battery next to this one.

    Why? I think 2 hours is quite nice for a laptop in this segment!
    I has a high detailed ultracrisp screen and a GO9600M GT as a videocard..
    In my humble opinion a monster who needs that power!

    If you want a 5 hours batterylife you have to buy a laptop with integrated videocrap and a 12 cells battery :D

    Well, i don't need 5 hours ;) but 3 hours would be nice.
    But i got the normal resolution 1280x800... would this make the battery longer?

    Hi CLB, props for the review.
    However, the keyboard isn't Dutch/USA.
    It's a UK-Ireland version, there isn't an '@' above the '2'.

    Screen: 15,4" TFT kleur WXGA Crystal Clear 1280x800

    Yours is like this i think:
    15,4" WSXGA+ Ultracrisp + Bright pixel garanty

    That's true.. and?
    You want to get the answer questioned about the battery-lifetime I think..?

    I can't say that.. maybe it will improve a couple of minutes, but that should be it!

    And now I'm going to translate the review so everybody can read it...
    (pfff dat wordt nog wat uurtjes vertalen, leuk zo'n Engels forum haha)

    Very nice review! I have a quick question for you since you have tried out both the Nox annd the Mythos;
    From what I gather the Nox is apt to gather dust, dirt and fingerprints and thus you need to keep a towel around, from your pictures it looks like the mythos does not have the same kind of finish, is this true? Is the mythos better at _not_ absorbing dirt? Or perhaps better at not making it show?

    Well, they both have a rubber finish touch.
    But I called Richard yesterday and he said to me the Nox will get dirty faster than the Mythos.

    The Nox will get dirty faster... That isn't true imho...
    Just like NegatiVe said 'or perhap better at not making it show'

    The Nox has a black finish, so you don't see dirt very fast...
    The Mythos has a white finish, so you see dirt much faster...

    Offcourse the Nox and the Mythos attracks the same amount of dirt..
    because they have the same finish, but on the Mythos you will see it faster.

    Well that what's Richard told me :p. I thought that mythos gets faster dirt to... he explained to me that it wasn't and the nox gets faster dirty...

    Other question, when i got my zepto mythos, how can I clean it?

    I have a NOX A15, no fan problems with it.
    And dirt-wise, i havent had any problems with seeing anything on it yet. The rubberish finish is really good at not attracting any dirty fingers/fingerprints.

    if i am not mistaken, the laptop looks similar to the M860TU apart from the cover?

    if so im wondering why everyone is using this clevo chassis when they make so many others.

    The Nox and mythos are designed by Zepto and noone else. They may draw similar appearance but they arnt the same.

    Its hard to do something new because everything has been used allready
