<-120x240 Vertical Banner - left->Here is a new Greek culture-inspired notebook from Zepto, this time called Nox, like the goddess of the night.
It sports also a Danish design part, while being powered by some of the latest technologies for great performance. It is black, with a soft exterior, and shows an illuminated Zepto logo.

Zepto Nox features the Zero Bright Dot display technology to eliminate the bright pixel errors caused by white, red, green and blue colored dots. In addition it is powered by the Nvidia MXM platform which is upgradeable, with the Geforce 9600M GT graphics card featuring 512MB DDR3 memory, Nvidia PhysX and CUDA compatible. The CUDA technology allows the graphics processor to handle video encoding and similar intensive applications, boosting the speed up to 12 times compared with other notebooks.

Other functionalities include power modes, Night LED that turns off visual indicators for battery or wireless; volume, BT/Wireless, Media player, Touchpad on/off, 2MP web camera, built-in microphone, HDMI 1.3A Connection, SPDIF audio out, fingerprint reader and Linuxsupport.
Nox is available for pre-orders until later this year when it will be released in stores, and will come with docking station support with HDMI, 6 USB ports, Firewire and Digital audio out.



Zepto recommends a Value configuration at a lower cost of £656.37 and a Power system at £793.29, but of course, the Nox notebook’s final configuration is established by the user’s needs.

Zepto Nox Value brings a 15.4-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with 512MB memory, an Intel Core 2 Duo T7350 processor, 1024MB DDR2 RAM memory, 80GB S-ATA hard drive storage capacity, DVD-RW, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, web camera and microphone.

The Power configuration replaces the processor model with an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100, adding 4096MB DDR2 RAM, a hard disk space of 320GB.

Zepto didn’t stop with the releasing of the new Notus A12 ultra-mobile PC destined for everyday use, but it announced also a gaming model called Zepto Znote 6224W, which compared to the Notus, it is a professional-grade notebook with more powerful features and technologies.

Stating with the 14.1-inch WXGA+ display, it comes with UltraCrisp screen technology for great viewability, high contrast and vivid colors, a long battery life provided by the optional 12-cell offer, and Intel 965PM + ICH8-M chipset for high speeds and improved performance.
Next comes the NVIDIA GeForceM GT card with support for Pure Video HD, DirectX 10, Shader Model 4, HDR Lighting and Powermizer.

The sound is optimized by a 7.1 digital surround sound system, while the data protection is ensured by the Trusted Platform Module hardware encrypting module.

Znote 6224W runs on Windows Vista Ultimate operating system and features Bluetooth, optional wireless connectivity, built-in microphone, 3-in-1 card reader, and the following hardware components: Intel Core Duo processor at 1.66GHz speeds, 1024MB RAM memory, 80GB S-ATA drive from Hitachi at 5400 rpm, a combo DVD/CD-RW optical drive, and the 6-cell battery version.

The Power configuration priced at £700.01, with about £50 more than the basic one, features an Intel Core 2 Duo-processor T8100 processor, 4096MB DDR2 RAM memory, 320GB HDD, a Samsung DVD-RW Dual Layer burner, Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth and no operating system pre-installed.

Back in April I was presenting to you a brief description of the new notebook from Zepto, and now we have all the details about it. Notus’ name comes from Greek and represents the God of the Wind, which makes us think in a lightweight and sleek notebook model with a stylish design. Indeed, A12, the first Zepto Notus model, is a 12.1-inch ultra-mobile laptop coming in a glossy black finish, but with powerful features such as magnesium protection layer, up to 25Kg pressure resistance, the Intel Ultra Mobile Platform which is a great energy saver, 1280 x 800 pixel LED backlit display with Crystal Clear technology for vivid colors and high contrast, and is powered by Intel A110 processor clocked at 800MHz, enough for basic operations such as working with documents, watching movies, chat and Internet browsing.

Zepto Notus A12 has a waterproof keyboard, touchpad and power button area, and can operate for up to 5 hours of intensive use and 10 hours of minimum use, with the 6-cell battery.

It is available in 2 versions, like the other Zepto notebooks, Value and Power, both coming with Intel Onboard Graphics, 1024MB DDR2 RAM memory, 80GB S-ATA HDD drive of 4200 rpm, and 10/100/1000 based T-LAN.

The Power configuration adds a Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n module, Windows Vista Home Basic operating system and a DVD-RW optical drive, at a price of £829.06, with about £130 more than the Value configuration.

Covered in a shock-proof housing made of rugged magnesium, the Notus is powered by an Intel McCaslin processor that consumes 50% less power than others leading to this long operating time of almost one day.

It is resistant at 1 meter drops and liquid spills but it also provides fast wireless connectivity of up to 300Mbit speeds. All these in a small and stylish notebook weighting almost 1Kg.
