    Is anyone aware if Zepto are going to include the Compal HGL30 as part of its product line?
    As far as I can see it is almost the perfect machine for me, but does not appear to be available in the UK :( ?
    If anyone here or from Zepto could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Havent seen or heard it being available or going to be available in the UK. Looking at your original post here I am asuming you want >12" screen plus webcam?

    The A8F is a good match, the sony FJ3M is a light 14".

    Thanks radditz, the A8F is almost perfect but I am a little concerned about no SATA, and poor battery life on the A8F and the FJ3M is not core due and no bluetooth.

    W7J with a 9cell or the Compal HGL30 are my winners but just no source in the UK.

    But yes 13-14" with webcam, bluetooth, good performance for work, and good battery for travel. Not to concerned about weight.

    Looks like I will have to make do....

    For office work/browsing the inernet you will not feel the difference between a celeron, pentium m or core duo. From the uses you listed in the FAQ the pentium M will be fine. Its no pushover processor and if that laptop meets all your other needs then i think its a good match for you. If you have your heart set on a core duo then the A8 is your best bet.

    Im afriad that i doubt that zepto will bring out the HGL-30 considering it already has its own 14" laptop the 6214w, or the 6014w (i think)
