    How does one "try to get it earlier?" :p

    I would very much like to know. Because mine have been delayed 1 month now. and original delivery time was 15 days. Which makes 45 days total :(

    I think, according to message which I and other buyers have got, you will get your lappy not earlier than during/after week 40. Coz We will get ours latest at week 40. You won't get it earlier than that. Don't know what the situation is after week 40. Just guessing, so don't count on me :p

    I'll be getting mine in the period between the 15th - 19th of September.
    Your best bet is to phone Zepto and ask what parts they have in store, and then configure your computer after that.

    Hi,

    I ordered my Nox A15 the 12th August, with the estimated delivery date the 20th August. After calling one day later where they told me that they would send it in some days, I recived the laptop the 26th August. So I guess I recived mine close to the delivery date, and that I am happy about, especially when I see how much it has been delayed for other people.
    Only thing I am a bit disappointed about, is that it the customer support is a bit slow. I wrote six days ago, and I am still waiting for a response.

    Wich way did you write? Mailed them directly or trough the website? sometimes the web form is the best way to contact. Iv got answers in 1-2 days from there the two mails Iv sent.
    But there might be a big diffrence in where you send it (or what language)

    Hi,

    I wrote them twice, and both times I did it through the web form, and both times in Danish (I'm from Denmark).
    First time I asked why my Nox was delayed, and when the date of arrival would be. After waiting for 2 days, I decided to call them.
    This time I asked about the speakers lack of bass. I decided that I would wait to see how long it really would take to recive a response from them.

    I am sooo happy. I finally received a tracking number from ups. The package is currently in Sweden. I live in Norway so I hope to get it sometime this Monday.

    I ordered a Mythos with the 1680x1050 screen if anyone wonders.

    Never thought I would say this, but this weekend isn't over soon enough :p

    Thanks alot Sprint.
    And yeah, I really hope it won't have any major problems.
    Sending it back would be very unfortunate. Especially since I sold my desktop computer this Friday and thus I am sitting on the backup computer. An ancient IBM Thinkpad. Intel pentium III 896MHz processor, 256Mb ram. And an astounding 8Mb onboard graphic memory. I actually wanted a new thinkpad, but the good ones are incredibly expensive. Hopefully the mythos will live up to my expectations. Atleast the design is great :D

    Thanks SoliDi.

    It arrives one month after it was supposed to, so I think it is about time :)
    I will take pictures and make a small video showcase of it when I get it.
    Should be finished in a few days. Uploading it to youtube and posting link here :)

    And don't worry. Two weeks flies.

    Now that delivery seems to be about to happen, I seriousely think about canceling my order. Have been waiting for 6 weeks now, and Zepto in Germany officially apologized for the incredible delivery delays.

    (crappy translation: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forumdeluxx.de%2Fforum%2Fshowpost.php%3Fp%3D10117209%26postcount%3D2127&sl=de&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8)

    They offer Free Hardware Upgrades for the poor customers who ordered Nexus or Mythos before August 27th - I ordered my Nox on 08/10 and get nothing. Im pretty frustrated.

    As is said, its for Mythos and Nexus only, not Nox.
    I of course did ask the rep on the board (which is the only german nox guy i suppose, the same guy i would get on the phone too)
    He understands that i feel pranked but explicitly told me that the complimentary upgrade was not designated for Nox customers. Gave no reason. **** it.

    i think he cant give any reasons cause the upgrade orders came directly from denmark so he cant do anything about it ... baybe you could write an email directly to denmark maybe they could give you some discount for your long delay ... cause as far as i can see your case is pretty unique cause no user i have read about is waiting for his nox that long...

    yes, why the heck should the order be from denmark and only apply to germany? i mean no zepto rep has posted something like that here, and from the looks of it, only german customers are listed.
    whatever, i dont care any longer - i canceled the ****ing order.
    I dont want to waste more lifetime on waiting for responses or more lies... sounds harsh, but thats what ive been doing for actually 3 months now since i have actually wanted to buy a notebook when nox was announced the first time... nvm, thats not entirely zeptos fault.
    The question for me is, what will i buy now?
    intrested in:
    -Samsung R560
    -clevo m860Tu
    -LG S510
    Can Someone compare them who really knows? or can someone show me the exit? :p i guess need a link to a thread where i can discuess about the alternatives :).

    It's called the What Notebook Should I Buy forum. Copy the FAQ, add your comments and paste them into a new thread.
