    Got the B5700N from the trade-in promo for Php25,000.00

    Had it for a year and four months already. It’s not the best computer in the market, but can do the jobs we require. I would only suggest this computer if you’ve got a tight budget and don’t want to end up with something slow or lacking hard disk drive capacity. Otherwise, spend a few thousand pesos more on something more capable in terms of better graphics and build quality as it will be rewarding in the long run.

    I just bought the B5700 today for 25K flat with Win7 starter. I had my netbook in tow ‘coz I thought I’d give it a shot. Guess what? No need to trade in shit and I didnt have to go to the North. I bought it in parksquare. Since, I have a WIN7 Ultimate, the seller told me he’d exchange it for a sleeve and upgade to 4GB…note the diff bet the B5700 and the B702 – diff of 10k in price and yet the other one is 2GB and the latter is 4GB and of course the 500 vs 600+ HDD. Still a good deal! I was a bit hesitant ‘coz of the brand ’til 2 of my techie friends approved, one of them used a Neo netbook. (We do tech support at a call center). BTW, performance: installed WIN7 Ultimate same time 1 ciggy was finished; the drivers were installed at the start of dinner and finished at the end of the meal; my dongle feels like I’m running DSL. Happy 13th month shopping guys!

    Well, guess what? 24k na lang ito sa kanto.

    We still have an oldie 6+ year old neo (clevo). And the neo gamebook which my bro is still using would be 3 years.

    In comparison, my well loved gateway is not even 2 years old ang dami nang time na ayaw mag on.

    So I think in every brand meron talagang mga sirain.

    maganda itong unit na ito ng NEO,,,i have this with 8gb ram configutaion(4gb X 2), w7 ultimate x64bit n pack it with coolermaster ergostand and some accesories like a4tech wireless kb n mice…not good for the gamer but really realiable in terms of multitasking and very affordable 4 its price. at hindi masakit sa bulsa kapag may lumabas na namang bagong unit ng mga lappy in the market…

    I actually own one. Its been 3 months. So far so good. As a Web Designer and Online gamer, I have no problem so far. This one can play Starcraft II and RF Online(MMORPG) with no lag at all. By far, I would say, I have no regret buying this. So, that’s my review as an owner of NEO Basic B5700N

    Sad to say, the Neo Basic B5700N is cheap because of the deffective sandy bridge Intel® 6 Series Chipset which intel has already recalled months ago. There was no problem with the processor, only the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives. This issue does not affect the processor but only affects the supporting chipsets. The revised B3 6Series Chipset is the fixed good working condition sandy bridge chipset. You can check the chipset by going to System Devices in the Device Manager. And the Neo Basic B5700N has the deffective 6series chipset recalled by intel months ago. You can check it out for yourselves in the atores where Neo Basic B5700N is available.

      SATA ports 0 and 1 (6Gbps) are not affected by the chipset problem

      ONLY ports 2 to 5 are affected (3Gbps.

      So overall, good buy pa rin =)
