Zepto Nox A15 review

Performance
The 2.26GHz CPU used in the Nox A15 is a capable performer. We've seen it put to good use in gaming platforms like the Asus G50, so it was no surprise to see it rack up a decent PCMark 2005 score of 5,329. The Nvidia 9600M GT graphics card holds its own, too, as is proven by the 3DMark 2006 score of 6,200. That's not quite as impressive as the 6,923 delivered by the Asus G50, but it's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

A consequence of this high performance, however, is lacklustre battery life. The Nox A15 lasted a mere 1 hour and 23 minutes in our BatteryEater Classic test -- but that's to be expected from a laptop of this ilk. If you want something with better battery life, then you'll need to look at a different class of laptop.

Conclusion
We like the Zepto Nox A15. We're big fans of its matte black finish and curved edges, and even bigger fans of its performance and customisability. If you want something a little different to the Dells and Acers of this world, then you could do far worse.
