Did you know that Zepto stands for 0.000000000000000000001 in the metric system? Of course you didn't mathematically challenged Laptopical reader - but fear not! Because more interestingly Zepto is also the name of an upcoming Danish computer manufacturer.

Image of Zepto's 6214W ZnoteThe Znote 6214 isa zinger for being one of the first original laptops from Zepto.Dan Hunke over at Notebook Review has stated that the Danishmanufacturer previously had been rebadging Compal notebooks andrepackaging them with their Zepto name. But the 6214W proves thatZepto isn't just some notebook hack. The beauty of this Znote isthat it's nearly a half a grand cheaper than rivals with similarcapabilities. We're talking around $1,500 for the Zepto, insteadof two Gs for gaming laptops from some big brand notebookmakers.
The sadpart of the Zepto for us North Americans is that we probablywon't ever see one of these guys sold over here. Fly over to theContinent if you want one. Just remember to leave your liquidshome. That being said, the Znote 6214W is almost worth theflight. It is a gaming and graphics laptop for those of us who don't want to drop their lifesavings for a hard-core gaming notebook. Its power comes thanks to an Intel Core Duo T2500 microprocessorthat runs at 2.0 GHz, and 2048MB DDR2 of memory. The graphics areprovided by the nVidia GeForce Go 7600 with 512 of its ownMB.

Zepto also fitted the Znote 6214W with the finer things in life,like integrated Bluetooth, Realtek HD 7.1 audio systemcapabilities, and a respectable 14.1-inch display (albeit withregular matte finishing). This notebook is also Vista ready,meeting all of the recommended specs for running Microsoft's nextgeneration operating system.

Now, I know: my favorite mantra as of late has been that youdon't get something for nothing. That if something seems too goodto be true, then it ain't true. But I am not ashamed to admit Idon't know everything, and that I sometimes can be wrong.

And in the case of the Zepto Znote 6214, I may be wrong. Itdelivers on all its promises, at that low price. Sure, there aresome minor reported issues, like a hard drive (80 GB) that soundslike a lawnmower, a battery that doesn't make it past 2.5 hours,and a chassis that is far from as strong as a ToughBook.

Still, the Zepto should stick with this new trend of making itsown laptops-and start selling inAmerica.
