    From the sticky in the other manufacturers forum, Zepto seems to use a lot of Compal and the PC MicroWorks Impulse model looks identical. Does anyone know what Compal model this is based on and does anyone own either of these models and can tell me how the build quality and battery life is like?

    The IMPULSE and the identical Zepto are not Compal.

    Ok, thanks again Prasad! Does anyone know who the heck makes these Zepto laptops!? Argh..

    edit: Ah HA! I think Zepto's model comes from Inventec. Similar to the W14 model.
