Zepto Znote 3415W


Already taken viewed from the Mobile Penryn that it is time to take closer look at Penryn system used for our testing, Zepto Znote 3415W. Always one to launch the latest components as quickly as possible, Zepto Penryn processor was offering in his notebook on-line while now, all normally competitive prices and with a lot of configurability to the proposal, too. So, how this system compared with other 15.4-inch victim?

With characteristic Zepto, Znote 3415W is best described as functional. On the outside there is a simple two-tone black and dark grey gloss finish, while others wrapped system basically not described matt black plastic. Weighing 2.8kg is relatively light for its size and actual size, 355 x 257 x 35.2mm (SH x D x) to do quite pleasing form factor that free from unnecessary bulk and feels a bit cumbersome and more svelte, than you can imagine. Nevertheless, it is not a style icon and, while he put together, if you're after something a little more than symbols, you better outlook.

However, what it lacks in looks superficial, it is for inner beauty. As already discussed it uses 45nm processor Penryn, T9300, running at 2.5GHz with 800MHz Front Side Bus and 6MB L2 Cache. This is confirmed 2GBs worth of 677MHz DDR2 RAM, with fast 7200rpm 160GB SATA HDD providing storage. All this combined makes Znote 3415W very fast notebook, among the fastest we've tested.

Along with these components base you get 512 MB nVidia 8600M GT, while the 15.4in display has a fairly standard 1280 x 800 native resolution and glossy "high contrast" finish. Network Connectivity too strong, with Gigabit Ethernet as a standard and Intel wireless AGN 4965, despite a little less, you can select their own Zepto Wireless-N adapter instead. In other places in the system, you'll find 2.0 - megapixel camera set in the bezel of the display, as well as a fingerprint reader below the cursor keys.

Surprisingly, however, that not even the best configuration Zepto currently offers. Since we have received in this system for consideration Zepto revised its prices, so now you could get a similar system with 200GB 7200rpm SATA HDD and 4 GB of RAM 677MHz DDR2 around £ 850 inc. VAT, which with Vista Home Premium 64 - bits is an absolute steal. This underscores one of the continuing strengths Zepto machines, which offer greater productivity and flexibility for those who wish to specify all aspects of their notebook.
