    Hi everyone

    Im proberly about to order a zepto 6324, and my only concern is ive heard and read very little about some people complaining about that the lid lights a glowing through the white lidcover in darkness, or something like that...

    My question is, can anyone tell me more about this? maybe upload a few screenshots? id really like to see the scale of this "problem".

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Thomas

    I searched abit again in this forum and found some pictures of the backside.. which looks a bit wierd, but I dont really see that as a problem.

    However! I would like to know if it only happens to the backside of the lid? or also at the frontside, making it annoying to look at ? :(

    Yes, there is 5-6 spots where a dim yellow light glows (in the form of an unclosed box) through the lid.

    There is nothing to be seen on the screen, so the question remains if something you won't see when working on your laptop will annoy you. (Come on, who looks at the back of the lid when the monitor is on? Perhaps the person oppesit you, so give her something to look at)

    I tried to take photos, none of them are any good, but

    might give you an impression

    For me, the big selling point of the 62x4w series is the 14.1in. matt screen, with almost everything (!) you want (I only miss hdmi, some might miss webcam, fingerprint reader or tv turner). Notice though, because the spearkers are directly below the screen, the size ain't that much smaller than a 15.4w, but you will like it with time. (I shouldn't speak, I connect to a 22w external 95% of the time).
    You'll have a hard time finding a sleeve if the zepto sleeve is to dull for you (though beCase (ask John Ratsey for that) makes customs), and the psu will take the total weight up to a 15.4in without the psu.

    On a last notice, I obey the forum rules by replying in english, feel free to pm me in danish ;) (how cool, forum rules <- autolink :), though only the first instance. Perhaps because people get the message )

    Thanks alot! I do know the quality of zeptos laptops, I own a 6214w already, and its lovely.

    But thought id go for something new with a white look, and it sounds like only people in front of my (in the dark ) will be able to see the light :p so who cares.
