    Or you can use babelfish to translate the juicy bits. The review is very positive.

    I see that it uses a Samsung 1440 x 900 LCD. Why can't Samsung offer that in their own 14" notebooks?

    Probably a question for the Samsung forum, but I'm guessing cost.

    Ja, I have used a website translation tool. The pre-review praises Zepto for coming up with a cost-effective mobile gaming laptop. The only 14.1 inch currently on the market with a Geforce 8600 GT. The 6624 passes with flying colours, however the review noted that there were still some missing details, particulary about the BIOS. :D

    Means something like this:

    During gaming the underside of the laptop gets relativly hot. Especially in the middle area where the ram is located. During office use the CPU reaches 35°C and the GPU 45°C. After a few hours of gaming the CPU reached about 70° and the GPU up to 81°C. Compared to other notebooks you could say that the cooling system is well thought through.

    During office use the fan runs (if it runs at all) silent. During gaming the fan blows and is noticable but not annoying. There are no high pitched noises, no scratching and no klicking.

    ########################

    Other things that i noticed:
    This pre release uses GDDR2. The auther writes that the final version might use GDDR3 (he doesnt know). Also he writes that he is disapointed with battery life of 2h 40m with a 6 cell. I think that is great because with the relativly cheap 12 cell (once availalbe) it would mean 5 hours and more!

    I will wait for moon angel review before i buy.

    I dont trust all these beta testers ... they must be working for Zepto or closly related because otherwise they wouldnt have gotten a pre release version.

    Is there a way to order a Zepto from the states without paying in foreign currency?
