Filipino laptop manufacturer Neo has been doing quite a number of netbooks for sometime now but these two has a couple of interesting specs worth looking into.
The Neo B1230 Travel Choice NetBook has specs that are pretty common (Intel Atom N270, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD) except that it features a 4-cell Lithium Polymer battery, the same type of battery the new Asus Eee PC 1008HA has.
The retail price of Php20,995 doesn’t really make it look too attractive.
On the other hand, Neo V1195 PowerSum NetBook is proving to be priced competitively for the specs it offers. That includes an Intel Atom N280, 10.2” screen, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 320GB HDD, 1.3MP webcam, WiFi 802.11b/g, 6-cell battery and pre-installed with Windows XP Home.
For a price of Php21,995 that’s a good deal. Of course, you also get to pick your color.

Of course the NEO V1195 is a good deal. It’s only 22mm form factor which makes it one of the slimmest netbook in the market.
The V1195 is the better deal for sure. I’m still uncomfortable with the NEO brand though.
its nice and got a better specs.
at least pinoy-made. or we filipino are really “not into” our own products
are they really filipino made? i thought they were originally known as clevo, then rebranded as neo? can anyone confirm this?
at least this one is definitely not from Clevo
Clevo is white-box manufacturer~
i don’t trust neo anymore! and i hated the brand even more!!! yung mga laptops nila galing sa iba iba ang parts kaya kapag nasira let’s say yung lcd+bat etc all the prices combined mas mahal ng doble sa original price eh sangkatutak ang service centers!! tangkilikin daw ang gawa sa atin basta wag lang ang Neo!! you’ll just regret it in the end!!!
abe, Neo B1230 is around Php17,990(if im not mistaken) at PC Corner. maybe your price is a card price, and theirs is cash.
i have asked people about it, and all i get was a not-so-pleasant reply. it gets alarmingly hot at the bottom and the service accotrdingly sucks.
what i noticed about Neo B1230 is that the plastic casing is very sturdy. probably the sturdiest among netbooks.
also, ang gwapo ng kuha ko sa webcam nila. muntik na talaga ako mapabili.
What are the pros and cons of Neo V1195? I’m planning to buy one soon.
2 weeks pa lang sira ang hard drive. ang bagal pa ng service nila. ilang araw ang unit ko sa megamall tapos pagdating sa service center diagnostic pa din status at wala daw available na hardware.
anybody seen the offer from compex? indigo netbook, is it the same neo b1230? Php 13500.. is it worth it?
im planning to buy Neo V1195 as well..ok ba un? sa octagon ng sm southmall its around 18k lang e…so far sa reviews about neo itself mejo alarming…
basta alagaan nio lang dapat lumabas ung hangin sa vent nia i suggest gumamit kau ng laptop cooler at para naman sa hard drive iwasan nio lng po na wag mag-download ng mga application na sobrang malaki dahil yan ang nkakapag-hang ng computer para naman sa battery pag matagal kau sa internet alisin nio ito at ung adaptor lng ung gamitin.At least twice a week nio lng i-charge ung battery for long battery-life.Sa akin ung Nov 21 ’09 lng binili ayus pa at walng deperenxa ang knakatakot q lang ang vista ba mabilis mabawasan ang harddisk..
tanong q lang mabilis ba maubos ang Harddrives pag vista ang gamit mo?
thanks i need some of ur opinion.
try nio ung neo b2238

hi. im planning to buy neo b1230.. do u have any branch here in davao city?? need ur reply.thanks.
how long is the battery life of the neo v1195? i have been using a different model neo laptop for almost 2 years and it only last about 45 mins.the sales agent from silicon valley told me that even if the laptops are similarly 6-cell, their battery life varies.he recommends the asus eepc 1005-ha because its advance technology allows it to have a longer battery life but it cost 5t more than the v1195.need help, pls reply.tnx.
i have 2 neos, one bought 2006, di ko nga alam ang model, never been to any service for 4 years (knock on wood), sobrang tibay, na biak na lang ang casing, andar pa rin, battery already dead since 2008, but i know all laptops will have a dead battery after 2 years, am charging it before even 3 times a day as in continuous use. minsan ngayon naga hang but not hardware problem, kc memory nya harddisk ay nsa 500 mb na lang out of 40 gb. 560 lang ang ram
so i bought neo v 1195 from asianic sm davao, 7 mons na, k naman.
tama umiinit, but laptops netbooks lahat umiinit, just buy a cheap cooler, also no one can predict a battery life, not a sales agent, not even the manufacturer because iba iba naman talaga ang gamit ng ibat ibang tao,
just take care of your unit.
also, charge only empty batteries, not half empty, use up battery first, before charging
Hi, I was reading the blogs here and I would like to tell everyone that I have the white NEOv1195 which I got like since September 2009… The way I use it… walang salitang ALAGA… everyday naka saksak lang siya ng bongga sa plug when I am at home pag nasa labas… habang naglalaro ng plants and zombies or SIMS2 (complete Package) the battery life stands out! mga kasabayan ko kailangan na mag plug… ako sige pa rin ang laro… hindi pa rin nag iinit… ang sikreto… “wag takpan ang vent” (alisin ang mga sagabal)at ilapag sa malamig na stainless (habang ginagamit) or sa tiled table…maglalaro ako maghapon parang wala naman siya nagiging defect… NEOKO the GREAT – Thinking aloud
iniisip ko tuloy… baka kailangan lang mag move on nung iba jan… hallleeerrr!
