EXPERT REVIEW

After the Zenith Admirale left a lasting impression on us, today we have the Zenith Director Plus Ultra, a full-blown business Notebook that can easily double up as an entertainment and gaming Notebook.

There are three different versions of the Director Plus, all having very similar configurations and the one we have today is the full-blown version with a 9600 MGS onboard with 512MB of dedicated RAM, which is amazing for a Notebook in this category.

The Director Plus Ultra is a very stylish Notebook with a nice embossed pattern over the lid as well as the interior. So let's see how this one fares.

Bundle

The Zenith Director Plus Ultra comes with the following accessories;

Driver CD

Charger

Instruction Manual

Zenith ships all their Notebooks in a crocodile skin type travel bag, which is probably not the best of design.

Recently I got one Dir + Ultra with Vu BT Speaker / Dongle at 36000/- online. It came bundled with Linux, but had to install XP as my son is on to gaming. Laptop is with Intel T6500 C2D, 320 GB, 1 GB RAM, Nvidia 9600GS with 512 MB dedicated RAM, DVD writer, and all other standrad ports. Please note that the nearby dealer tried to push me the same product at higher cost.

Dear Abhishek, on site warranty means that zenith will provide u a door step repairing solutions for ur laptop. But im not sure that is zenith really giving a 'on site warranty' on its laptop range. I suggest u to check it once agan that is it really coming with an on site warranty or not.

And i have checked that this laptop comed with on-site warranty..wat does that mean??

Final Price varies from 38.5k to 39.5k... N the best of all the graphics card they provide is even better than 60k priced dell xps...That's just exell for gamers...

the net price of this notebook is 39,900 (with 4 GB ram) on Zenith stores. But if u purchase it from any E-Mall Stores they might give u some cash back offers and some free stuff on every purchase.

Dear Friends....is there anyone who has personally used this notebook?? This Laptop is available only on Order, so i wanted to see an actual model of this laptop.

i cant beleive there are no buyers for this configuration for this price!!!!! this is crazzy....anything in HP or Dell would cost not less than 50 thousand...and this is abt 40 k all inclusive...some one buy and tell uss the hand on review.
