Neo outs first Pine Trail netbook locally

Local PC manufacturer Neo could be the first one to release their own version of Pine Trail netbook, starting with Neo Basic B3230 and with a competitive retail price of Php18,995.



Neo Basic B3230
Intel Atom N450 1.6GHz
Intel GMA 3150
10.2” display @ 1024×600 pixels
2GB DDR2 RAM
320GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
1.3MP webcam
3-in-1 card reader

I was told that these will carry the same design as the previous Neo Basic netbook but will have the upgraded specs. Not sure though what the standard battery is — either a 4-cell Lithium Polymer or a 6-cell Li-Ion. The units will also have Windows XP pre-installed. The price is pretty reasonable too at Php18,995.

    the Neo B3230 is a great buy in for the prize, has mostly the latest processor for the atom which has low battery consumption, i already bought 2 of these for my younger sister, running at almost 4 months now, and another for my friend, i dont like the windows 7 starter, well since its a starter, doesnt contain much that they would be needing in an OS, i downgraded 1 netbook to windows vista business, at the other upgraded to windows 7 ultimate, and it was running remarkably faster on vista, all other adobe products like photoshop cs5, in design cs5, illustrator cs5, runs well on both, but still havent tried the adobe premiere, since with its built in gpu, i doubt rendering high quality videos to your desired output would be troublesome,

    BUT OVERALL its really a good buy you wont be dissapointed with the price which is proportional to its specs and performance

    @deathrow

    Im wondering dun sa 8 hrs battery life?

    I bought my Neo B3230, Last Dec I think and for me, ayos naman siya, nice speed, at kaunting tweaks para dun sa window 7 starter. themes, I’ve tried to use StarDock My Color for it once, but it kinda slows the booting time.

    Games:
    I Had run games Like Ran Online, Ragnarok, Vice City, San Andreas, Diablo2, and Dawn of War Soul Storm, and I’m quite satisfy for the performance.

    Yung Bat life lang talaga ang kasi yung Neo ko I think 4~5 hrs.lang siya. :)

    Good Day!

    I upgraded my sister’s B3230 to Windows 7 Home Basic and downloaded the drivers from the Neo website. Everything worked except for the Wireless LAN, I kept on getting the error message :We do not support this operating system”.

    I reinstalled the Windows 7 starter but experienced the same error message.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thank you in advance!

    @Eason

    Been using HP540 for more than 1 and a half years now.. im so very much satisfied with it considering na napaliguan na to ng kung ano ano.. I have a 2 year old son na lahat binabasa.. natapunan na to ng milk, water, juice, napaliguan din ng powder… still, wala pa din naging damage.. got this from globe at 24mos installment plan.. mabilis din sia and regarding batteries, i think nasa user yun.. its just like in cellular phones wherein, its bad for the phone if its batteries will always be drained.. mas mabilis kasi ma wear out ang mga batteries pag lagi na dedrain di ba.. yun lang.. thanks.. planning on getting this one also for my little sister..

    http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download

    follow instruction, take note bro, pag nag ubuntu ka hindi lahat games sa windows malalaro mo, kung windows player ka, pero kung multimedia naman ok lang, mag dodownload ka lang nang mga codec, supported naman nang ubuntu yun

    The problem with this b3230 is the O.S. HAnggang windows 7 starter lang kaya nya, di nya kaya ang Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. Madalas mag-hang kapag mataas ang O.S.
