User Review of Zepto Hydra A17

I recently bought a Zepto Hydra A17 laptop for my gaming needs.   I was trying to find some information about this laptop online and I couldn’t find reviews from actual users.

Here is a quick review in a nut-shell:

The laptop has a Nvidia Geforce 9800M GTX with 1GB Graphics RAM.  This was my key reason for getting this laptop.  3DMark06 benchmark is attached below.

What’s good:
- The graphics card works excellently with computer games.  I play mostly RTS games so I haven’t played anything like Crysis.
- The keyboard is really good.  The feel of the keys is very tactile.
- Build of the laptop is excellent.  The body is made of aluminum or very high quality plastic.
- The LCD is very firm at the hinges.  It does not wobble.
- The laptop is upgradeable with newer graphics cards and CPU in future.

What’s not so good:
- The LCD display is not very bright.
- Speakers are not loud.  I had to resort to using ear-phones while watching movies.

I purchased the laptop from http://mucro.asia/  in Singapore in case you are interested.
