Thanks.
Also does anyone know if the touchpad is any nice to use as the pad and buttons look quite small and the pad doesnt look to smooth for a finger to scroll across? and is the top lid glossy black?

The only bottleneck I see is the HDD. You could lower the capacity and get a 7200 rpm drive, other than that it looks very nicely config'd.

thanks for the very quick reply
wouldnt a 5400rpm 250gb drive be the same as a 7200rpm drive as the bigger the faster the hdd?
Also do you know if zepto do finance options in the UK?

[Wingsbr]

Not quite, for notebook hdd's when you go up in capacity you have to give up some speed. As far as I know the highest capacity for a 7200rpm 2.5inch hdd is 160gb from Fujitsu, so as you can see its speed vs storage. So depending on how big your files are you may decide speed over storage.

As far as financing options, not sure about that, I would check their website. I can't imagine they wouldn't but you never know with companies these days.

mmmmm thanks for the input, i really need the 250GB hdd as i have a lot of files! will it bottleneck the system too much?

There will be a difference but probably not THAT noticeable. It would be different if it were 4200 vs 7200 so you'll be happy with it.

I don't use touchpads so I can't comment. I dislike those things with a passion, I have a little portable mouse that I carry that about the size of two Zippo's put together, works wonders.

Slow hard drive and very expensive, Rizeon offer that spec for £1280.

Theres a whole thread about this, i think i might have started one i cant remember, 5400 is rubbish though.

the highest capacity for a 7200rpm 2.5inch hdd is 160gb from Fujitsu

What about all these 200gb 7200 rpm hard drives around, or are they bigger than 2.5 inches, they seem to fit in the same laptops.

Where did you get this from, on the uk zepto site all i see is 1280*800, with no option to change it, am i missing something?

This machine is overly powered IMO. Of coarse, there is no such thing.
