Neo Elan LD2LJ Ubuntu Gaming Laptop at Php36k

This is probably the first time we’ve seen a gaming laptop packaged with an Ubuntu operating system. The LD2LJ comes with an interesting hardware configuration for under Php36k.

The Elan LD2LJ looks like a decent gaming laptop on a budget but what really got our attention is the Ubuntu operating system.

Neo Elan LD2LJ specs:
15.6-inch LED display
Intel Core i7 3610M 2.3GHz quad-core
NVidia GeForce GT640M 2GB VRAM
4GB DDR3 RAM
750GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Gigabit LAN
2 x USB 3.0 ports
1 x USB 2.0 port
Bluetooth 4.0
DVD+RW drive
6-cell -Li-Ion battery
Ubuntu Linux

Suggested retail price for this unit is Php35,999USD 613INR 52,004EUR 584CNY 4,467. We spotted one being sold at PX Express. Not bad for a Core i7 and Nvidia GT640M setup right?

  1. COOL! UBUNTU!!!!

    Wait…. where are the game?

  2. Most people who will buy this will install Windows on it anyway.

    I assume that it has the bog standard 1366×768 resolution.

  3. I bought one last week! Guild Wars 2 stress test just got done a few minutes ago. Game ran smoothly on high settings and no hiccups even when I was switching to Skype and Chrome! :D SULIT!

  4. I am just worried about the ventilation of this laptop, some NEO laptops are prone to overheating..

  5. ARE YOU KIDDING! THIS IS MORE THAN “NOT BAD”! That’s a new gen core i7 right there!

  6. Guys how about the heating problem, Neo has been known for this.

    I would surely buy this if the heat is no longer a problem.

  7. But 80-90% of Games run on Windows…

  8. Bang for the buck! Priced around ~14k less than other Brands with the same specs.

    My two cents:
    -Impressed with the build. Clevo barebones have great feedback from online community abroad. Very capable cooling as it quickly dissipates heat after quite a load. Expect notable heat on the palm rest as you’re dealing with an i7 CPU & a class II GPU. It’s normal & tolerable on my end.

    -Impressive screen compared to my Dell Vostro 3550. Glossy, but handsdown.

    -Noticed upon simultaneously stress-testing both CPU & GPU(OCCT & Prime95) that CPU temps will definitely reach its max-tolerable 85C but from there, throttling will kick-in, lowering its max turbo boost around 2.7-2.8ghz instead of the standard 3.3ghz. I’m impressed rather than disappointed about the OEM’s as well as Intel’s throttling automation. Take note this high temps is achieved only on ideal stress-testing. Done video rending with Sony Vegas Pro & heavy gaming but temps only reach around 75C-80C on room temp.

    -Multi-gesture Touchpad works well in Windows environment but not on linux. Needs additional tinkering to make it work.

    -No anti-palm detection for the touchpad. Expect disturbances everytime you forget to disable the touchpad if you’re using a separate mouse. It always default to enabled whenever you turn on the laptop.

  9. HDMI?

  10. I think the K55 series of asus is better than this :(

  11. Neo? Never Again!

  12. Hello, I’m waiting for Neo Elan LD2LJ. I expect for quality as you described… it’ll be faster & user friendly.. & power adapter will be effective and sustainable..
    Cheers, @Rebecca

  13. impressive specs, but i guess gaming laptop should be osed by windows xD
