    I omg'ed at the prices!
    Also why is the 'power' version cheaper than the customisable one 0.o
    Shouldn't the more powerful version be more expensive... slightly worried if the website is incorrect? :S

    But yea, given the prices are right, then the prices don't really make a difference.

    So whats the real difference between these two? The 6324W seems better in almost every way from the 66... smaller and with better specs :O But does it overheat then?

    Also does the 8600M GT use GDDR3 or G/DDR2?

    Am considering either these or M1530 or Aspire 5920g

    Zepto's 6324 and 6625 use an 8600mGT with DDR2 memory. I have the 6324W. I too got mine on offer last year and am overall pleased with it. One small niggle is that they seem to put way too much thermal paste on the GPU so it does get a bit hot (95C+ when gaming). I would personally go for the 6324W as the bios has options to turn the fan on earlier than the standard. There is also a lot of people having trouble with the bios of the 6625-have a search on the forum for details.

    So there is no real difference?

    I can't seem to find a 14.1" laptop with a 8600M, let alone a GT!

    Well that package comes with a risk, due to its very small cooling system. About the 6625 BIOS, it has a high latency (alot better with the newest one) wich could be a problem when editing audio and video live. Otherwise the diffrence is the screen and ofcourse the size overall
