HONOR Pad 20 unveiled HONOR 600 leak sparks buzz over possible Mercedes-Benz giveaway Infinix XBOOK B15 now official in PH Infinix XBOOK B14 now official in PH Apple and Google begin rolling out end-to-end encrypted RCS beta across platforms

This is the one that’s really identical to the MSI X-Slim X320 — the Indigo RS130 which is a 13.3″, Atom-powered netbook.

And for a cash price of Php17,900 at Compex, you can get this one with the following specs:

Indigo RS130
13.3″ Screen
Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz
1GB DDR2 RAM
160GB SATA HDD
Intel GMA950 Graphics
Intel GSE945 Chipset
1.3 MP webcam
WiFi 802.11b/g
10/100Mbps LAN

Again, there’s no OS included here but for under Php18,000, I think it’s a good buy. Just make sure you have your warranty covered by the store.

I bought the indigo netbook back in December 2009. So far the 10-inch netbook works well with me and it still ‘alive’ I brought this laptop abroad (Singapore, Taiwan and Australia) and I was able to use it. It may not be the best but it will be useful if you’re just into surfing, movie download and playing videos in youtube. I haven’t use it in other things. I can say my money is worth it. More than 1.5 years for that cheap price is good enough for me.

@maryonmayor

sir have you tried to play a 720 video on this netbook?

maryon mayor · 16 years ago

my own review of this netbook, is that its good if your just doing excels, word documents and other office stuffs..

but if you are considering a multi-purpose laptap, this is not your option.

for example. if you are considering Adobe Creative Suite 5, you will be having a problem with hardware resources…

and also i had a problem with wifi. with this on UBUNTU, tried ubuntu 7.xx (jaunty)

done anything, what i can find on google, seems its not working and only a little support on this… :( anyway, if you know how i can make use of the wifi using ubuntu, it will be a great help.. thanks..

Yes I agree, saw one of those China netbooks at divisoria (alongside with China Nintendo DSs). Isn’t this just a branded China netbook?

@manong well yes, we buy China-made phones not just because of being affordable, one main reason is for replacing branded phones. So I don’t think a replacement netbook would be reliable especially for storing valuable data.

Actually it’s wireless B/G/N. Awesome value I would say and build quality is GOOD. Resolution is a huge 1280×800. Best value over-10″ ATOM notebook on the market today. By the way, it has a “chiclet” keyboard which is super-easy to use!

it just looks like one of those china netbooks being sold in Baclaran Terminal Plaza and along the DIGITAL Divisoria

too large for a netbook. no information about battery capacity/life, which is a major component for a netbook factor.

@ jhay — there are pinoy “people” who only cares for the price… do u have any idea how many people who are buying china-made dvd players, mp3 players, celphone? A LOT! compared to their branded counterparts, i say 80% of pinoys

and now comes laptops! so what’s the difference? the cheaper gadgets target 80% of pinoy… the poor. 5 to 20% of pinoys are reluctant hehehe!

I don’t trust this brand. I may be wasting money if I buy this… I just have to stick the brands I trust like Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Dell, HP, Toshiba and Fujitsu.
