This new Znote laptop will be one of the first to boast Microsoft's Directx 10 technology. For gamers that means vastly improved 3D rendering and much smoother character animation.

Zepto's Znote 6625wdIf notebookgaming is your cup of tea, brace yourself for Zepto's DirectX 10flavoured brew - the Znote 6625WD. DirectX 9 was limited toshowing around 500 objects in one frame, but thankfully withDirect X10 that restriction has now been removed. What does thatmean for mobile gamers I hear you cry?! Greater graphical detail,including more realistic shading, detailed scars and blemishes oncharacter faces and smoother animation - that's what!


It was onlyautumn 2006 when we announced that core 2 duo Merom laptopswould be hitting stores. But 6 months is a long time in thisindustry. Zepto's 6625WD will be powered by Intel's 4thgeneration Centrino Pro platform code named Santa Rosa. Thatmeans a switch from Socket M to Socket P. The 6625WD also boastsNvidia's Geforce Go 8600 graphics card with 512MB of dedicatedmemory.

This Znote sports a 15.4 inch WSXGA screen (1680x1050resolution), optional HD DVD RW drive, High-Definition MultimediaInterface (HDMI) and Bluetooth 2.0 with H2DP. Overall the Znote'sdesign looks minimilastic and stylish. Another bonus is that the6625wd features Robson Nand flash technology.This should mean a faster boot time for 6625wd users.

We asked Roelof-Jan van Hoften of Zepto when the Znote 6625WDwould be released and for a ballpark figure on pricing. Here'swhat he said:

".....We expect to have this notebook available for pre-orderingfrom first week of May. The first batch is due to arrive in thesecond half of May. We work with a 100% built-to-orderconcept.....I expect to be offering from 1100-1200 USD onwards,depending on the CPU prices at the time ofintroduction......"

Looking at the specs of this DX10 compatible Znote, that price seems to be something of a bargain. Expect Mr Hoften to be busierthan a one toothed man in a corn on the cob eating contest,dealing with pre-orders of this gaming laptop.

    Looks like Samsung's got another sexy laptop on display at CeBIT to go with the R70, R20 cheap hosting , and Q45 that we saw earlier in the show, and this one is aimed squarely at gamers on the go. The company's M-series has always incorporated high-end features -- various iterations of the M55 were among the first on the market with Blu-ray and HD DVD drives -- and the upcoming M60 is no different, sporting top of the line Core 2 Duo processors, Santa Rosa chipsets, BD drives, and most importantly, DirectX 10-compatible NVIDIA cards with 512MB of video RAM voip . Notebook Review tells us to expect these sometime in May or June, for an as-yet-to-be-determined price. It's an utterly inevitable upgrade to Intel's ubiquitous integrated graphics mobile chipsets, but we're still pleased to hear that it's coming sooner rather than later. TG Daily has learned that Intel's upcoming GM965 Crestline chipset, the core of the "Santa Rosa" platform, is indeed DirectX 10 compatible. It was already a bit of a surprise that some integrated graphics chips could handle Vista's Aero, but DirectX 10 implies a level of performance that should considerably exceed what we've seen in integrated laptop graphics previously. Naturally, we're not expecting much in the way of Crysis-level accomplishments (pictured), but that game is only the most visible of what are sure to be many more DirectX 10 games and apps in the future online payments . The most recent word is that the chipset should be making its debut in May, with four FSB800 processors in tow: the 1.8GHz T7100, 2.0GHz T7300, 2.2GHz T7500 and 2.4GHz T7600. A couple of low-voltage versions should show up soon after that.
