anyone getting a zepto nox next week?

anyone getting a zepto nox A15 with 9650m gt next week?

 

The 9650M GT's aren't even available.. =s

 

They are.
They can be selected as an option in the Nexus A15 among others, but of course the laptops as whole won't be shipping until about 20 days or so.

Question:

Why doesn't the Nexus A15 have 2 year warranty available for purchase in the 'power' option?

Also ... I've checked Zepto's ftp driver website, and it would appear it's empty.
Any ideas on when will this be rectified, and does anyone know if Zepto ships CD/DVD with drivers for their laptops whether or not the buyers chose the OS?
One other thing ... their warranties ... are they applicable in other countries for example if the laptop itself was bought in UK?

P.S. I'm seriously considering Nexus A15 because it can come with 9650m GT DDR3. Still on the fence really, but I'm considering it.

How much better would this laptop be, compared to Acer 5930G in games?
20% difference or more?
The great thing is that 9650M GT DDR3 produces less heat than 9600m GT because of the 55nm.

 

Be aware that there may be a bit of a wait on your order if you choose the 9650GT on both the Nexus and Nox. I'm still waiting on my Nexus (I ordered it on the 16th August) and I just recieved an email to say I may have to wait as long as the 7th November before shipment.

They aren't...

Offcourse you can choose it, but they haven't got any in stock and it's only selectable to get some pre-orders...
so they aren't .

Google? Toms Benchmarks? Maybe it's here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

I don't think that will mean monsterous lower temperatures...
The highest temperature that I've seen with the 9600M GT was 70 degrees Celcius, what's quite good!

 

Lol ... of course I wrote in my post that the actual shipping of computers with 9650M GT won't begin for another 19 days but they are selectable.

Notebookcheck is notoriously unreliable.
But I do know a good estimate on 9650m GT says it would be about 15 to 20% faster than 9600m GT

While I know that the heat production won't be too low compared to 65nm, it'll still be less.
Plus undervolting the gpu will only further decrease energy consumption.
55nm is also pretty good because it leaves more room for OC-ing.

Although I have to admit ... with the onslaught of negative reviews about Zepto lately I'm leaning more towards 5930G Acer.

 

Okay, I apologize, my fault, didn't understand it correctly!

Oh really... the 15% till 20% increase... always nice offcourse!


Read this? My Zepto Mythos personal review

O buy a 5930 Acer instead!
If you are comparing a Zepto with an Acer... shame yourself!

 

Ah ... brand love ... ain't that so 'sweet'.


It's just that with the problems a lot of people had negative experiences with Zepto, not to mention waiting, plus the fact that I'm not a UK citizen and if something happens to the laptop while I'm away from UK, it might be a problem to mess with customer support and all.

 

That's true... Yeah the waiting... that's not so cool...
(and Zepto has got global warranty so that isn't a point)

 

Not true unless it has changed since Jan2008.
My 6625WD purchased from Ireland in July 2007 broke down when in Australia 07/08 with Nvidia 8600 failure (1 of 3), I contacted Nils - Zepto rep there and was told no replacement GFX and Mobo to hand and if I wanted it repaired there I would have to pay for shipment of parts to Australia.
Needless to say I waited for "repair" to be done when I returned to Northern hemisphere.
I had purchased the 24 month warranty at time of purchase.
