Zepto Penryn notebooks take a small step into Singapore

Darius Chang | Jan 21, 2008

My, my, aren't Singaporean consumers spoilt for choice this year. Barely a month into 2008, and a third entrant into the local market has been spotted.

We received a heads up by a local distributor that it will be bringing in Zepto laptops. Though the brand is almost unheard of in Asia, Zepto claims to be the largest notebook manufacturer in the Nordic countries and have been in business since 2002. It was also one of the first to offer portables with Intel Penryn processors.

Zepto specializes in built-to-order (BTO) laptops and has a presence in Australia. As each system is customized at point of sale (similar to Dell's business model) and delivered from Denmark, it may take up to 20 days for the notebook to reach your doorstep. The distributor is also in talks with several retail outlets to stock popular configurations as well.

The local online store is still in its preparatory stages, so for the time being, you can check out the various models at Zepto's Australian Web site and place your order by emailing zeptosg@gmail.com. Not the most professional of setups, but the distributor promises to service and provide warranty coverage for any Zepto laptops bought through it.
