This may not be the first time CDR-King is selling a laptop (they started out with a netbook some time ago) but this time, they’re slowly getting into the much bigger form factor — the ultraportables.

Hat tip to Froilan.
saw one kanina. mejo okay naman looks niya.:)) sana benta nila ng mga 5k nalang.:))kung super mura lang niyan pwede na pang laspag pang internet lang sa bahay.:))
hwag nyong mamaliitin ang CDRKING. sa US yung RADIOSHAK yumaman sa rebrands. dell and gateways starded thier product thru rebrands.
Next time baka makita natin yung CD-R king selling food and transportation products.
Example:
CD-R King Coffee Creamer
CD-R King 3 in 1 Coffee
CD-R King Vinegar
CD-R King Soy Sauce
CD-R King Helicopter
…Man, this is such a nightmare, CD-R King will scare me if they’re going to sell these products
XD CD-R King Coffee Makers and CD-R King Rice Cookers,,, oh and don’t forget CD-R King washing Machines!!!
oh, those appliances will surely ruin my home lifestyle! uncooked rice, stripped clothes, spoiled food…that’s what you expect when you use their appliances lol!
Next time don’t be surprised na CDR-King will sell Cars! Wahahaha
“FLASH NEWS: CD-R King Selling Transportation Vehicles!”
1 month warranty
1 week replacement
they have all sorts of gadgets for cars,, unti unti pa makakabuo ka na! :p
wahahahaha talagang tinakpan yung CD-R King label
pag bibili ako nito, lalagyan ko ng electrical tape ang label para di halata hehe :p
kahit naman ako..I will do the same..ahahaha
Kahit kasi mahal yung price ang magiging perception parin ng tao mura kasi CDR King ang brand.
The warranty service sucks for CD-R King. tss. They should offer some freebies for this price.. like portable HD?
Agree ako dyan. Pwede yung mga affordable products nila kahit di ok ang after sales pero pag laptop na medyo you have to think twice.
Why buy a netbook? If you want portable gear for your internt use anytime anywhere consider a tablet PC. Don’t buy Apple! Get a Samsung Tab 10.1!
wag po sana tayong magcomment ng ganun ganun nalang kung wala naman tayo personal experience sa ACTUAL na unit,
nakabasa na ako ng review ng isang ACTUAL owner nitong laptop na ito from tipidpc.com and he says its an oem laptop from a brazil laptop maker (biggest laptop maker in brazil) and so far masaya naman siya sa CDRKING laptop niya.
and sino nagsabi sa taas na mas mabilis pa daw ang ATOM dito? balong have you done your research? ang atom has 512kb cache lang, this SU3500 Core 2 single processor has 3mb cache so you do the math
same lang ang power consumption nila with a max TDP of 5.5 watts so your getting the same power consumption pero mas malakas ang core 2 single, also mas maganda ang power saving features ng core 2 single versus the atom kaya baka mas makatagal ka sa battery.
comment ko lang din versus the MSI CR410x is different league sila dahil ultraportable po ito, hindi kagaya ng MSI na mainstream laptop dahil 14 inches na siya, which can only last 3 to 4 hours, with the ultraportable it can reach 6 hours
Well said, Bryan. This is an ultraportable (2.86 pounds — it’s as light as a netbook), the MSI is a mainstream laptop.
Unfortunately it won’t reach 6 hours like you expect, they only included a 3200mAh battery. According to the website it lasts up to 3 hours.
This should be the attitude! Don’t be too judgemental on new things, esp gadgets.
Actually, i’ve also read somewhere in tipidpc that the CD-R King Fastbook is of good build quality but the main drawbacks in the unit is the old generation Core 2 Solo CPU. That’s the only thing that makes this notebook not a “good buy” considering that there are other units in the market that performs better and sells cheaper than the Fastbook.
The processor cache does not contribute to the overall speed of system; it’s the system architecture that determines the speed of a system.
Unfortunately, the highest Core 2 Solo processor can easily be beaten by a current-generation dual-core Atom or AMD APU.
Evidence? Take a look at the benchmark scores here at this site:
http://cpubenchmark.net/midlow_range_cpus.html
Browse the site and you should see that the high-end Core 2 Solo processor should score around 500. A dual-core Intel Atom, for example, the Atom D525, which is a processor that’s commonly used in high-end netbooks gets a score of 711. Also, the AMD E-350, another dual-core cpu score 743.
Conclusion:
It’s not the frequency or processor cache that contributes to the overall speed of the system. The game is all about how sufficient an architecture is. Core 2 Solo is built under an old architecture so you better forget about better performance despite the huge amount of processor cache.
Technology is getting smaller, faster and more efficient.
Overall, if you want better performance while getting more battery life, go for at least a dual-core Atom or Fusion netbook.
^^^ like for the above post ^_^
Do you known why notebook or netbook is much expensive than laptop with same specs???…. simply because of it lightweight size and easy to bring along advantage, kaya yun mga travellers ang mas prefer ay notebook o netbook, saka you don’t need higher specs kung di ka naman programmer na katulad namin…..
@ CDR King attackerS:
Nakakatawa talaga ang mga pinoy…. crab-mentality talaga…. di naman kayo pinipilit bumili, saka check nyo lahat ng CDR King outlet at laging pila ang bumibili kahit walang promotional advertisement sa TV or print-ads…. respect naman natin yun karapatan ng iba
kung gusto ko ng better performance, i’d better go for 14-17 inchers. i won’t waste my money just for this one… :)
besides, this one is only for budget users, or for just people who want to have somewhere to type at and browse the web. yung iba, wala namang alam kung anung pinagkaiba ng solo processor o atom.
agreed. only geeks will care about the specs of the computers they’re buying. normal consumers don’t care about the specs…they only care for the price and what’s enough to get their tasks done.
Well explained. Sir Yuga please come up with a review if possible. :-)
i was being sarcastic LOL everyone knows how much cdr king warranty service sucks lol
can’t wait till CDR-King releases a Macbook Pro knockoff “Macopa” XD
actually, it has limited warranty 1yr. I just saw that they are using LITEON adapter for this and that’s +1 but for the LAPTOP still ^_^
full details can be read here:
http://www.cdrking.com/?mod=products&type=view&sid=9442&main=104
haha..FASTBOOK eh? i wonder how fast is that compared to other netbooks..ahahaha..Goodluck! better buy a branded one kesa sa CD-R king ^^ other products from CD-R king maybe yes. LAPTOP? its a big NO!!
maybe with that price it has a lifetime warranty? :D LOL
Oh come on CDR-King, you can still lower that price!
Sell it at like 8,999
I have bad experiences with Cdr-Kings products because of low quality. Kaya I am not that excited with this product.
At a slightly the same price you can already get a decent budget notebook like the MSI CR410X.
In terms of the specs and price i’ll pick MSI CR410X over this because it has much better processor and graphics compared to this CD-R King notebook.
MSI CR410X only sells for Php. 16,995 at Villman.
Check it out here:
http://www.villman.com/Product-Detail/msi_CR410x_AMD_V120
mahal to for a disposable item. XD
Core 2 Solo? Seriously, a current-generation Intel Atom or an AMD Fusion APU can beat that notebook at a lower and more reasonable price. Cd-R King should lower the price if they want to make this notebook successful.
parang mahal for that specs..
I agree. I checked Villman for their cheapest budget notebook and what I found was this notebook:
MSI CR410X selling for just Php. 16,995!
Specs:
14 inch screen @ 1366×768
AMD V120 2.2 GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4270
2GB DDR3 RAM
250GB SATA HDD
Super Multi DVD-RW
3 USB Ports
HDMI port
Ethernet port
Mic in and Headphone out
Built-in Webcam w/mic
802.11 b/g/n Wireless
This is the site where i found this more reasonable laptop:
http://www.villman.com/Product-Detail/msi_CR410x_AMD_V120
I’ll prefer MSI CR410X given that it has better specs and build quality than the CD-R King Notebook
haha mas ok na yan msi tapos mas ok pa graphic card and may peace of mind ka pa.
