    Which model exactly?

    Otherwise, there are rebranded Compal's on ziosys.com, which are very popular here.

    Well I got the 1034, and my Mother got the 1717 AMD.
    They are really nice, kind of amazed actually... guess they are a new company.

    Yeah, i believe the two you bought are MSI notebooks. Those are solid. Good pick.

    That 12" one....styling looks like its a quanta. Maybe not sold in the US by anyone else?
    The rest are easy: MSI 17", HEL80 and HGL30.

    And I dont see a 1034.... 9700 series, the C250 series, then 1715-1717, then C224...

    And it doesnt seem to be entirely new, but rather a spin off from Jetta, which has been in the notebook business since 1991, so the website says.

    Jetta = MSI
    Jetta = Not Compal
    Jetta = ZioSys.com

    ZioSys.com = International

    Welcome to the forums Zio,

    No one will be confused about where your laptops originate..they are clearly from Jetta.com.

    No one will be confused about the fact that those notebooks are also built by ODMs.. (Compal or Quanta, which ever it is), MSI, and who ever indeed makes the 12" in your product line.

    Many resellers offer products with model numbers identified by their respective supplier, but the true core is at it's manufactured root
