Turns out is a nice 12" imitation of the X-Slim called the CNEG 1200.

CNEG 1200 Intel Atom N280 1.60GHz 12.1" display screen 1GB DDR2 Memory 160GB SATA HDD Intel GMA950 Graphics Intel GSE945 Chipset 0.3MP webcam WiFi 802.11 b/g/n 10/100Mbps LAN Not sure what the resolution of that 12.1" screen is but I think should be at least 1024x768 pixels.

HUAWEI Watch Fit 5 Pro Review The biggest changes are coming to Android Auto Free internet 24/7 now at Pasig River stations and ferries The Sony PS5 price just jumped to PHP 40K this month What is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide?

First time I saw the unit at a Compex store, I thought it was an MSI X-Slim X320 but then the price tag of Php16,500 is almost unbelievable. Turns out is a nice 12″ imitation of the X-Slim called the CNEG 1200.

I even think it’s made from the same parts (or factory) as the ones made by MSI.

Not sure what the resolution of that 12.1″ screen is but I think should be at least 1024×768 pixels. The unit does not have a pre-installed operating system too but with a Php16,500 cash price, it’s intriguingly a nice deal.

I bought this very same laptop about 3months ago…
and now, I’m rally looking forward for its warranty.

At first it’s kind of good and stylish and have good specs…but the hardware won’t last long. O_O

Right now, even though I haven’t dropped this thing or whatever, the cpu fan’s now kinda noisy, it heats up so fast, the battery (which is supposed to last for about 2hrs) now lasts only less than an hour (grrr) and the LCD casing kinda broke. O_O

I really hope to have a replacement for this unit or even just a repair for the nasty stuffs. I still have the 1 year warranty.

I am from Cebu, just relocated in Sta. Mesa recently. I was hoping you could help me find the nearest computer shop where i could buy cneg 1200. Thanks in advance! Really a great blog! More power!

just bought it and so far so good..the slim and matte finish makes it look classy compared to other well known brands–of coure Im only talking about those which are in its same price range. Disregard the expensive ones, xmpre no brainer mas ok ang aesthetics non. But for budget constraint people but still would like to look stylish and consider function..this is a way to go! :-)

frankly I would just get the 13.3″ instead.

12″ is neither here nor there. and the 13″ has a chiclet keyboard which I like. crammed keyboards are not desirable.

If this is the same thing as the MSI, it’ll have the same shoddy/thin plastic construction.

Lumulubog daw yung middle with slight pressure*

Jiro Yan · 16 years ago

i want this one as my 2nd laptop..

MB · 16 years ago

hmmmm. i bet its a china made netbook.

Boo · 16 years ago

Mukhang good buy nga pero guys, you’ll have to see this gadget in person. Ang pangit kasi nung build, very cheap plastic plus the top shell has this big CNEG logo that destroys all sense of aesthetics.

It looks and feels cheap.
