Just had a look at the specs and it looks pretty good! I am pelased that the Celeron option remains. The hard drive options I feel could be rather more mainstream, but otherwise it's looking top.
Anyone know how long the 6214 will stay available? I see prices have gone down on it, when do we think it will be discontinued? -
Is 6+12 Cell Batt available on 6224? Cause 12 Cell (6x14) is listed as an accessory but not on the Battery screen.

I saw no 6+12 option.
-
Same. It was there and now it isn't. I think I'm going to wait a few days to see if Zepto can get their act together else I'll switch to Asus -- if they can't even organise a website (when they've known the change has been coming for months) then I don't really want to trust them with my £1,000.

Ok -- am I high or there's no HD included with 6224?
Edit: According to the 6224 front page, a 120G 5400 is included and the price is 40 quid more than when you go to configure it, but no HD is selected, and the 120G is not even available as an option! -
The 12 cell battery has been removed at the moment due to limited stock availability and we will put the item back on as soon as we know the stock is coming in, hope this clears up any issues
-
The 6214 Will be discontinued when the limited stock that is left has sold out
-
Your not high Bertie the is No HD on the 6224, PLease let me know if you have any problems like with the Hard drives on the configure part of the website , we find this information so useful and we have been making changes all day

ZUK,
In the 6625 thread you mentioned that 12 month P&R warranty is included in the price, and it having no warranty pre-selected was an oversight.
I'm not sure if that's the case for 6224, but it looks like not warranty is included there either.
Edit: I just read the warranty info on the support page, and it says that all UK Zeptos come with 12month P&R. So if I choose 12 Months P&R on the service screen, that's additional 12 months for a total of 24, right? -
My guess is that they just separately point out the cost for the minimum 12 months warranty (£46.20) and make you take at least 12 months, rather than implicitly including it in the price of the overall system, like most retailers would do. They also have pretty expensive shipping and credit card fees (no Switch/Maestro capability) layered on top (about £70 together), which is not that competitive in my view.

ok so what about the robinson flash memory? i have been reading in trustedreviews about the samsung Aura R70 not having it but supposedly the Thinkpad T61 will have it. on trustedreviews.com they said that this technology would probably make the biggest difference to notebook performance in Santa rosa refresh. Does the choosing Samsung Hybrid drive option mean there is flash memory included? if so how much 1Gb or 512mb, i suppose i should just wait for benchmarks etc but i am confused
thanks,
Tim -
It's not 100% clear to me if this is the same or different to the (Robson) Turbo Memory stuff referred to on trustedreviews.
Petrov. -
I don't think it's the same thing, but I'm also kinda fuzzy on it.
I thought Robson (Turbo Memory) is somthing that Intel supplies, and the Flash utilization with Vista is something different and doesn't take advantage of the same technology.
But I'm not 100% or even 50% certain on that.
If I am right, Intel is offering Robson as an option and it doesn't look like it's an option included in 6224. -
Over to ZUK to answer this one...!
Petrov. -
On the other hand, after rereading the Samsung review it looks like Vista ReadyBoost would utilize Turbo Memory so does that mean if a computer comes with TM, that there's no point to the Hybrid HD? At least until Vista starts supporting more than one RB device?
-
Arguably, the best thing to do is get the 7200rpm drive and then get something like a 16gb express card (they should be widely available soon I think) which can be used as a flash device and is heaps bigger than the 256mb flash memory on the current samsung hybrid hdd's.
Petrov. -
hmm all those heating threads come to mind with a 7200rpm, damn it just so hard to make decisions, i debated on a forum for three hours before choosing my breakfast this morning.
-
On this page it says that a hard drive is included http://uk.zepto.com/Shop/Notebook.aspx?notebookid=644, but when you go to configure it, there is not one included and all are extra, why is this?
Batch -
If their prices drop, I might be able to get one, but currently -
I have fixed the problem of the Hard drive on the B4TCH . The 120gb is included. Thanks for drawing our attention to it
-
I have also fixed the problem of the website making customers think there is no 12 month warrenty. when you configure the machine now it automatically comes with the 12 months pick up and return service
-
hello zeptouk, do you know if it woul'd be that in few months we will find the hdmi or dvi port both on 6625wd and 6624w?
because it's quite strange that a video card with hdcp an high definition feature does't have the hd ports -
Cannot confirm a yes or no for that at the moment im Sorry!!! Call me mr Vague on this 1!! lol
-
which are the exact features of the samsung hybrid hdd?

PS: It's a pleasure. -
To Zepto and all
I am considering buying the 6624W this month, but I have a few questions about the system:
1) Is the Intel Turbo Memory (fully operational) included in the 6624W
(as I dont want to order the Samsung hybrid)
2) Is WLAN HSDPA included or optional
3) What are the clock speeds of the Nvidea 8600 GT for the 6624W
4) For 2 GB ram is it one stick or two separate 1 GB sticks
Thanks

Is the 26 day lead time legitimate?
-
I am so jealous that it's not for sale in the US! argghh! I was looking at the Asus A8JS until I came upon this 14.1" of a monster.
-
The lead time will be around 26 days. The 9th of may was the 1st date that a customer could order the new notebooks. The demand for these models is very high.
-
If i get a notebook now, I may want to upgrade the Ram from 2gb to 4gb in the future.
Is it possible to find out whether Zepto install their 2gb 800mhZ memory in (2gb x1 stick) or (1gb x 2 sticks)? -
You can order your notebook with 1 2gb ram stick therefore you will have 1 slot free to upgrade to 4 when you need to!!
-
Is this done automatically upon order?
Cheers. -
Can anyone confirm if the Intel Turbo memory (or Robinson memory) is featured in the 6624/6625?
Also will the GeForce 8600M GT be overclocked in this system as the card in the 6614/6615 was? -
I think there are 2 options the default will not be 2gb, the 2gb zepto option is on 1 chip. Have you tried the configue options on the website, let me know how you get on
-
Its in German - but the Zepto rep says that the 6625 and the 6224 have TM "for sure" - "6224 und 6625 haben TPM, ganz sicher".

Didn't accept the payment from my commercial card due to a stupid payment setup (asking for a VAT number/no. of employees when the company has 0 employees and won't be tax registered until October of next year, if at all).
Guess I'll wait for the G1S. -
GSUK if you are having problems you can email me [email protected], did u mean on our payment screen
-
It would be nice if we could see the full detailed specs for 6224 so we don't have to rely on babelfish to find out if it has Robson or not.
And actually, I'm not sure zepto actually does have it since it's not mentioned anywhere that I saw. Considering the fact that only Lenovo T61 is selling it, and other currently released SR notebooks do not, you'd think Zepto would capitalize on that. -
