dude that’s some serious hardware for 31k
Doc Harry says:
Just for the processing speed? Too bad they couldn’t put in a better graphics card.
jun says:
nice spec.. but how is the quality of neo in general?
Zo says:
that’s a very tempting price.
Jay-R says:
Hindi ba ito magooverheat sa tindi ng processor? Yun nga, how is the quality of Neo laptops when it comes to durability and heat management?
garz says:
I don’t think the RAM nor heat management is the real concern here. They’re manageable. It’s the battery life. Imagine you have these specs but you can run it for only 2 hours. That sucks.
ferdinand marte says:
All that quad-core power will not be fully utilized because of the underperforming gpu. i7’s & any quad-core’s are supposed to be paired with dedicated graphics to fully use their power.
Likewise, quad-core pc’s/notebooks are designed for applications requiring graphics intensive apps & games. Since when did browsing, email, word processing need 4 cores?
This is what irks me with manufacturers pairing high-end cpu’s with low-end gpu’s.
Iyan Sommerset says:
Great for users running multiple VMs. Just stick 6gb more of RAM and you’re set to go.
Mikoy says:
Check NEO’s Official Facebook Page and you will see a lot of comments about this model since it might still be using the old SandyBridge Chipset that Intel recalled.
razorous says:
@Mikoy: YUUUUN LANG!!!
raul barrios says:
How big is the screen size?
booz says:
I used to have a Neo laptop before. It only lasts for about a year then after that, boom, the battery is just for 10mins. Flickering LCD, overheating, and has the WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
The drivers are Beta Versions. They can’t even provide driver downloads on their site.
I will never get this brand even if it’s just 10k range for an i7 processor. -_-
Eason says:
I won’t bite for it, as a previous Neo user my laptop gave away in less than a year, battery less than 10 mins and the CUSTOMOER SERVICE SUCKS. I requested a repair for the speakers and it took 1 MONTH plus when I got it back its was FULL OF SCRATCHES. I was so mad I rant in the store because the argued that it will take another 2 weeks to replace the body.
Ever since then we never even tried to repair the laptop and just let it run on sockets to be a dead battery laptop.
Well for the price point all I can say is…i7 is not all that its just 35% of what is the best. If people buys this laptop because its cheap and i7, I bet entry level i3 or i5 sandy bridge with good graphics card can beat this featured Neo laptop in overall usability.
Franco says:
I wont enjoy this laptop even though it got this kind of hardware if after 3 mos, the HINGES are loose and/or broken already.
all neo’s i have seen eto problema.
mic says:
my aunt has a neo laptop it still runs but the battery has pass it charge cycle. The drivers where wrong an XP driver used in a vista and heats up like a toaster.
Mr. rious says:
what’s the sense of having a good processor if your graphics card is a trash?? =))
jcruze057 says:
I will for the price to drop up down to 24k before I will buy
Felix Ocampo says:
i purchased this new laptop just a month ago, and its doing well for my video editing projects!!!
blipblop says:
I think the price is damn good for the specs. I mean, you can’t buy a powerful laptop with a decent gaming card for 30k or less. Intel 3000 is enough for Full HD movies, most MMORPGs and some games in low settings. You don’t plan to play crysis with this, do you?
This laptop is clearly for those who need more processing power than better graphics. This is great as a mobile virtualization rig. Just upgrade the RAM to 8GB (DDR3 is dirt cheap nowadays) and a faster hard drive and you have a powerful portable machine where you can run a test lab for software development or network/server infrastructure. =)

Good Day!
Do you have dealer at Davao? If have, may I know the address, email add, and contact number?

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 yourself in the atores where Neo Basic B5700N is available.

JoeO says:
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
Kazuya says:
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…
a says:
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.
Charm says:
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!
Tristan says:
i wonder if ayos lang na ikaw na magupgrade nung ram niya.. b5700 ang gamit ako..
jomal0106 says:
ano po version ng usb ports ng neo b5700? 2.0 po ba or 3.0?
milenski says:
any decent reviews pls.
Justin Abellera says:
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.
John says:
4 slots po ba talaga ung ram slots ng neo b5700n? nag upgrade kasi ako, pero dalawa lng nman ung nakita ko, may nabasa aqng review 4 slots daw, tapos sa task manager, 2 of 4 ung nkalagay na used slot ng ram ko,
Reggie O says:
