    I have some questions for my fellow nexus/nox owners:

    Does your laptops webcam also have an extremely microphone on the webcam? Like so noisy that it is useless..

    Does your webcam itself also stutter and just stop after no time, ect? (plain suck)

    Does your "LED night mode" also work like junk? If i aktivate it, the battery led keeps blinking.


    Thanks for your answers.

    I think something is seriously wrong with your machine.

    my microphone is not noisy but my friend reports annoying noise when the fan kicks in, and it does a lot as you know

    webcam does not stutter when you turn off automatic exposure, and does not stop at all.

    I guess it's the HDD LED which keeps blinking, which - according to Zepto - is supposed to be a feature, not something rendering the whole night mode idea next to useless :p

    Isn't the battery LED next to the HDD led?

    I mentioned in my review http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=309733 that I don't like the LED mode, because the HDD led is so bright and blinking that it looks like the other LED's are still on active :eek:

    Personally, i like the night mode while my laptop is plugged into my plasma screen and the picture is only on the TV, not in the laptop's screen.

    If i leave them alone for a while, i know from that one led blinking led that the machine is still on. :)

    That's true, but 1 LED is still annoying imho...
    And If I want to check if the laptop is still on, I can check it by opening the screen for 3 seconds.. =s
