----------------------HGl 31 have a gma950 video card

 

wow thanks, how did you find this info? i been looking all over the internet for it!~

 

Any idea the Compal HEL 80 is coming out?

 

aren't you the same stranter who had the EFL30? If so, how has it been holding up for you?

 

It may already be out in the form of the Zepto Znote 6214W (The HGL that is):

http://www.zepto.com/Default.aspx?page=NotebookSummaryPage&notebookid=QOvB8QCJcNKmd6FUY

Zepto has kind of a bad picture posted, but note the five little LEDs on the front left of the
case...same in both the Zepto and Compal pictures. Plus, the previous model in this
position of Zepto's line was the FL30.

However, the Zepto 6615WD is clearly not the HEL, so maybe the 6214W is not a Compal after all.

Whatever the Zeptos are, they are certainly 7600go laptops from some ODM and they are released.

Not that this does much good for us in the U.S., since we can't get Zeptos anyway.

 

Yes - I am the one with the EFL-30, the computer is great, no complaints except for I wish the battery life was longer - getting about 2.5 hrs per charge with wifi on.

I will be in the market for another 14inch laptop this summer and want to make sure I get the latest technology - hence my interest in the HEL.

I liked the EFL a lot so hopefully HGL is a nice refresh that doesn't try and break the mold too much.

 

wow thats cool! Unfortunately I'm not too optomistic on the battery life of this newer one. the Go 7600 is one helluva card, while the thing uses a 6 cell battery. by comparison the W3J has the similar x1600 with an 8 cell and gets around 2.5-3 hours as well.

 

Hey Goren I have a question. That info about the boutique gaming rigs and their odms is great, but I have a question. Do you know who dell contracts out to for their laptops and what model they correspond to? Also, I know dell does not make their own lcd monitors. Do you know who does? The info would be really appreciated.

thanks
njc33

 

Yes and No.
Dell certainly does contract laptop building to ODMs, which so far has been Compal, Quanta, Samsung and in the future, Asus.

But no. Keep in mind that not every single ODM laptop will be released independently to resellers. Most often with namebrands.. the barebones is only available to the person they have a contract with.. meaning, you will NOT find say, a Dell 710m released outside of Dell. Compal will make it, and it goes only to Dell, no where else. The same goes with many Gateways, Toshibas, Sony, Fujitsu, IBM, etc.

 

harsan, can i ask where you are buying from?

 

Hi i'm italian boy,

i have ordered this notebook 04/04/2006 at the www.santech.it.

the series are santech X2710 and X2780.


http://www.santech.it/listino.htm

 

giving this thread a resurrection. may prove to be a good competitor for the s96j . Rumored to be released early june and about $75 more than the s96j

 

^ lol yea i just read the same topic... Interesting. The computer seems to be a hellovadeal if its only 70$ more than the S96J.. The fingerprint reader and 9cell battery, i'd have a good use for that

 

im very interested in this notebook. any idea where this can be purchased within the U.S.??

 

Look for it soon on www.powernotebooks.com; they're supposed to have it:

seeing that the A8 may not even come to the US as a whitebook.. the Compal may end up being pretty competitive.

 

so the Compal HEL 30 (maybe its HGL 30) the 14.1 will be comin out soon eh?? i cant wait, anyone know how the pricing will start at?? and what site it can be purchased from? im guessin powernotebooks?

 

probably. Discountlaptops has announced the HEL 80, so they'll probably follow up with teh HGL 30 when it comes out.

 

Discountlaptops.com has put the HEL80 up on their website now you can fully spec it for around $1900, I think that powernotebooks and ISTNC will have it in within the next week.

 

just thought i'd give this a quick bump again for anyone interested but www.powernotebooks.com has just put up the el80 (the hel80 just no vbi) as their PowerPro L8:15 and the Crown 15:2

 

Soo Donald, will NBR get some sample units to preview/review them?
