abe, did you notice this is hotter than most netbooks? it’s quieter but hotter in time because of the athlon processor. can you confirm?
It’s not a netbook. Netbooks are typically characterized by poor useability, absolutely abysmal performance and great battery life. This is a small, cheap laptop with middling battery life and great usability, plus business-class support options.
And it is warmer than a netbook, for sure. But not exactly hot, compared to for instance some of the older P4 laptops that would really bake your legs. The heat is not the issue– it’s really the battery life.
@Voice of reason, i was just at an MSI store today and it really isn’t a netbook. the neo is athlon’s ULV counter for intel’s ULVs. a little powerful than a netbook and yet mobile. consider it, cheap ultraportables. MSI can address the battery life issue, they offer aftermarket 9 cell batteries should you wish to upgrade. Not like most netbooks and ulvs.
magkano na po ito ngayon sir abe?
