I am also interested in the ZEOS laptop, which has been advertised e.g. in PC-Magazine. If I remember correctly the basic version comes up to 2200 dollars. This is not expensive considering it has a 386, VGA, and a 32 MB disk. I'm thinking of buying it but I need more info: e.g. Are there any problems if I use it in Eurpoe (220 Volt)? Are there are problems with the display using it in Europe? Further question: Does anyone have have experience with laptops running at 110 and 220? Are all laptops usable in the States and Europe?

I don't know about others, but my Toshiba T1000XE external power adapter can be plugged into any voltage from 100 to 240 volts (50 or 60 hertz) and it will adapt automatically. It uses a standard "computer" power connector; I assume cords to plug into other than North American sockets would be fairly easily available. -cjs

Are all laptops usable in the States and Europe? > Well, the current situation on the Zeos 386SX 40 meg (there's nop 32 meg) portable is that it is back logged until sometime in October.. I've been waiting since the beginning of June for mine!! In the meantime, I've chosen the 386-20DX replacement for the same price.. Supposedly it's shipping end of this month or beginning of next month but I doubt it as no one at Zeos is able to confirm it for sure... Looks like more delays... The pricing seems great.. We'll just have to wait and see about the quality.. I am VERY concerned about the display quality on the 386-20DX LCD display.. Shading has always seemed to be a problem with LCD displays.. Supposedly this one has 16 shades.. Finally AC power info.. I have no idea about that.. You should contact ZEOS for that info..
