    Hi!

    I just noticed that all of a sudden the screen on the Zepto G14b is now stated as 1280x800 on the Swedish zepto site. What is going on? The 1440x900 was the biggest reason I started looking at zepto laptops, and they've always had good resolutions on many models.

    Have they changed to LED screens? I was hoping for a 1440x900 LED screen in the next "upgrade".

    I talked to a guy i know that has connections to Zepto and Zepto got a shipment of G14b barebones with the wrong panel (1280x800 instead of 1440x900), and they have put those up for sale so they have something to sell until they get the barebones with the "correct" panel in them.
