    ~ Zepto laptops? ~

    Has anyone had any dealing with em? or a laptop? if so whats the quality like?

    I'm looking at getting a laptop and the stuff they offer for the same price is just way ahead, ie a t7700 with 4gb ram, 8600GT and 32gb ssd is £1400 - just seems a bit too good to be true to be honest. (that wasnt the spec i was looking at but is making me rethink lol - is about £300 over budget)

    Rizeon did have a very good warranty when they started..where if it failed within the first year you would get your laptop fixed and your money back.

    I'm not sure they do this now..but the warranty is pretty solid I think...especially as they are trying to make a name for themselves.

    Also..if theres an option that you would like that isn't on there don't hesitate to ask for it.

    I asked for certain hard drives when I spoke to them and they were happy to do it.

    these look great little notebooks at really reasonable prices.

    I'd be interested in one of there was a 12'' version available.
    It is Inevitable.....

    they both use certain barebones for their laptops so it's unlikely you would get a 12" offering from either of them...until asus or compal start building those kind of barebones
