Zepto Satisfaction Poll (standard)

I know you guys have a very similar poll , but I'm trying to standardize. Are you happy with your Zepto laptop?

 

I'm not sure the different options are correct.

I mean I'm perfectly satisfied with my Zepto, but the battery life is a very definite weak spot which I think ruins the greatness of this notebook.

But that doesn't mean I "regret" buying my Z.

So you see I'm the first person to answer your poll and none of the possible choices really fit.

 

I'm not really sure what sort of standardization you want to achieve.

The other poll has 50 replies already and is just fine as far as I'm concerned, I've no idea why we need another one.

I agree with Simon as well, none of the answers fit me anyway.

Sure why not vent some things i have come to think is a problem, even though i dont regret buying my Z.

Drivers!

I get the feeling that there isnt put enough work into making drivers better (More stabil, perform better ect.)
I know this i just a feeling, but let me explain.

The drivers Website.
I has an unorganized feel to it.
1. The old versions of drivers are not still there to download, in case the new one's dont work.
2. The vista section.. only 2 vista drivers (display and cardreader)? come on, what about the webcam software package (the driver in vista doesnt work with messengen on my 6615), the keyboard and touchpad drivers (some FN keys dont work anymore)
3. Even if the same drivers apply from XP to Vista, they should still be in the vista driver directory. (I dont wanna fiddle around in a folder for another OS, and UPS, i installed a bad driver by accident and now im scewed!)

Techsupport seems to be supprised when a driver comes up with an error.
Me "Hi, i installed the latest display driver, and now i get a windows error every time i reboot or shutdown"
TechS "Gee, We never heard of that problem before, try installing the old driver again."

Im sure they were telling the truth when they said that they never heard of that problem before. But it left me with the feeling, that the ONE test computer with clean XP and 3mark installed they use for driver testing, didnt behave like that... So shame on ME...

I know they can't insure that every driver works 100% of the time, with all the crap people install on there laptops.

I try to only have the applications and games i need installed, and nothing else.
I try and keep to websites i know and trust, and keep the pron surfing on my work computer. ;P

So, there you have it. I still love my 6615, but i still get the feeling that Zepto is shooting from the hip at time, they dont allways hit the mark.

Cheers

 

I'm using my Znote 6615WD since October 2006 now. All in all it's a fine machine.

What I dislike:

• Letters on Keyboard begin to scratch off (especially WASD)
• Brightness of screen is too low for outdoor use or usage next to windows
• Docking station doesn't amplify microphone input, sometimes USB ports behave weird
• Driver site / ftp site should be structured better

Pros:

• It's so very very fast
• Screen resolution is great
• Gaming experience is great
• It's quiet
• Keyboard doesn't bend, good typing, good layout
• It's got everything I want (BT, wifi, webcam, ieee1394, spdif AND blue leds )
• Works well enough with linux (exception: card reader)
• Docking station is a nice thing to have - any connection with one plug...

 

The screen's viewing angles needs to be corrected

FTP site could be made into a website with the content. Not much effort and a lot more proffessional. Even I could do that

 

Love mine - despite battery life

 

i dont like the heating and the battery life.

 

I just noticed (now while playing world of warcraft) that my 6214w got extremely hot! I haven't noticed this before at all!

 

I want to standardize this poll with the ones for other brands.
