Review: Zepto Anthea A15

In Greek it means “flower” and I’d say it’s a nice name for a stylish laptop coming all in white. Anthea A15 wears the illuminated logo of its manufacturer and designer, Zepto from the United Kingdom, and is meant to offer an alternative to the recently released black notebook models from the company.


This white laptop with aluminum connectors and a soft exterior layer integrates the Intel Centrino 2 processor technology with 3MB Smart Cache and 1066Mhz Front Side Bus, which brings higher computing performance at lowest power consumption possible today in the mobile computer sector.


Sharing the 384MB graphics memory with the system, the Intel GMA 4500MHD chipset also features DirectX 10 support, OpenGL 2.0 and Shader Model 4, increasing the video performance and providing support for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system’s Aero feature with cool graphic effects.


Designed for entertainment on the go and to increase the mobile work productivity, Zepto Anthea A15 has a 15.4-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, a nice keyboard with fast and precise response, featuring the 2.8 mm key movement standard for best ergonomics during intensive typing. Also, with the help of keyboard’s controls, you can easily set the power mode you like, switching between high performance and the economic mode, the latter increasing battery’s life, as well as set the Night LED, volume, Bluetooth/Wireless, media player, the web camera and even the touchpad on or off.




In addition to this practical design, the laptop model offers 2.8GHz operating speeds, TV Tuner, Turbo Memory Card, and a battery life of up to 3.8 hours.


Other elements include built-in microphone, HDMI, SPDIF audio out, Linux Ubuntu support, and a highly durable construction using aluminum reinforced chassis technology.


The basic configuration set by Zepto starts at a price of £517.10, with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 processor model, 1GB DDR2 memory, 80GB storage capacity, DVD burner, digital microphone, and the Bluetooth 2.0 EDR module.


At a higher price of £752.41 you can configure the notebook starting with an Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 processor, 4GB memory, 320GB storage, DVD burner, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, built-in mic, and the Windows Vista Home Basic pre-installed.
