Neo Manufacturing did a refresh of the 8.9″ Neo Vivid v1100 netbook we spotted during the last Intel Atom launch. This time, it’s a 10-inch netbook that comes in various colors — Neo Vivid v1190.
The new model had a design refresh and moved away from any semblance of the Explore line that the earlier 8.9″ model had.

It’s still powered by an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz with 1GB of RAM and 160GB of HDD. Has built-in WiFi 802.11 b/g, a webcam, a 3-cell battery and runs on Windows XP Home. They come in 5 different colors — white, pink, blue, red and black — and has a retail price of Php22,999.
Of all the available colors, only the black is painted black all over (inside and out) while the rest only had the laptop lids in different shades while the insides are still white.













































Anybody here in favor of this than the 10″ MSI Wind? Please help me decide which one to buy. Thanks!
My officemate got this instead of the MSI Wind and she doesn’t regret it at all! I actually helped her choose the laptop and this wins because it’s price is slightly lower, available up to 12 months 0% and has a matte black finish which is sexier than MSI Wind’s cheap black glossy plastic lid.
It was pre-installed with trial software which I removed and replaced with opensource/free (no-pirated software here) equivalents.
WOW the price is good for you know can’t afford Branded laptops,the its sleek design.
Vista ready nb yan?

the design refresh was a good call! wala na yung cheap plastic feeling.
in terms of design, i still like MSI wind and HP mini the best..=) specs? they are all relatively alike in my pov. =)
nice
i will definitely get an MSI wind over this. reason for this is the support of the MSI wind community. there are a lot of people who got the wind, meaning more support (different os i.e. osx, ubuntu) drivers, using the same hardware in different os etc and better resale value since more people are interested in the wind. just my 2 cents.
yugs, any review soon? been looking for a netbook for my sis. been considering the MSI wind and lenovo S10.
i like the black one
if i to buy a laptop i prefer this one….
ok din yung msi wind kya lang mahal ng konte….:p
ganda ng high gloss finish nya, ipa g-masked nyo nalang!
unang biglang malayuang tingin parang lenovo..
23,000 in a 3cell battery?
lousy brand name.. sounds like china-phone!!
the build quality is excellent. i tried ticking the MSI Wind’s lid with my finger, it wobbled. but the Neo V1190 is so sturdy. also, when i pressed on the MSI Wind keypad area, you can see it being pressed down. Neo V1190 is solid and compact and doesn’t flex or gets pressed down when you touch keys harder.
the keys are placed in squares akin to the Mac.
the only gripe though with the Neo V1190 are the keys on the keyboard are a tad smaller in size compared to other netbooks in the market.
and also, it doesn’t have any kensington lock, Lenovo Ideapad S10 has.
if you would gmask the black Neo V1190, that would make it even sexier.
I bought mine wit a discount. It was 3k lower than the suggested retail price. Maybe because I paid in cash, in which people seldomly do these days. I was about to buy the MSI Wind but got turned off because of the price. All the specs are the same but its cheaper. As for resale value, they are all the same, MSI is not that high end brand anyway.
@ badosaur, where did you buy that 10″ Vivid v1190 netbook with a discount, im also interested to buy one. The discount plus the specs are really enticing.
I bought my Neo Vivid V1190 at PC Corner for approximately 20,000 pesos. I bought the black one so I don’t have to clean it that much, it has Windows XP Home which is pretty good.
Got one last Dec. 22, 2008. Satisfied with physical features. Just can’t use much now coz doesn’t have an internet connection yet. Badtrip Smart Bro…out-of-stock sa lahat ng pinuntahan kong service centers!!! Gusto ko sana globe broadband na lang…ayw sis ko…any comments?
hey, anyone there who can help me what laptop to choose? with high specs and etc..
