Thanks for this great information! I really appreciate this. I actually let my husband have a look and he posted a link to it on his blog :)

Has anyone tried Linux on these?

javier · 16 years ago

comments are for netbooks..

not for laptops / desktops

javier · 16 years ago

we recently used this in our barangay election.. it lasted for about 8hrs+ (playing music while searching for names and precint)

@dreadblack

regardless of aftersales (i assume u owned one since how could u know they’re bad??? gosh!), i’ll find it amazing u don’t have any idea since these products are in all malls in the phils (tga san francisco ka ba? — del monte).

manong · 16 years ago

@lawrence

malamang ikaw si lawrence of arabia.. sa disyerto nag-ttravel? kamusta na rin po kay tarzan!

i have nothing against netbooks except for the price of some which nears laptop level but way below performance.

dreadblack · 16 years ago

@manong

ah okay you’re talking about emachines/neo that’s why i don’t know. worst aftersales after all. peace!

i doubt someone could browse for 8 straight hours using that small screenâ€¦ hope his eyes wonâ€™t bleed and his fingers donâ€™t go numb for that scrolling sideways and downwards.

maybe 3 hours, which a laptop actually doâ€¦ and more.

I presume you don’t travel much? Well, I do. It’s not that I use my netbook for more than 3 hours straight, but I often don’t have access to an outlet to charge my batteries while on travel. So having a netbook that I could actually use within the day without re-charging is a plus for me. Well, that’s just it. For me. who travels a lot. So, I guess, same as with any other gadgets, it depends on your needs.

Winziph · 16 years ago

this one looks promising, planning to buy one. anyone who have the idea with the version of this nf310?

selecta56 · 16 years ago

@lawrence
i almost liked this except from the fact that this laptop has only an Intel GMA as its graphics processor, not Nvidia ION (which is cheaper and better). but, i can still say it will be a good buy because this netbook comes with a dual-core processor. A dual-core processor and a weak gpu like Intel GMA is not really good for HD videos while dual-core processor and an Nvidia ION will surely bring good HD experience. If you love to watch HD videos in youtube, don’t buy this…

at this price range you can buy a netbook with much better specs that will enable you to experience an intensifying HD experience. I’ll pick an Asus EEE PC 1201N because it comes with a much lower price and better gpu.

lawrence · 16 years ago

I like this!

The selling point of this netbook is mobility through it’s size and great battery life. so if you don’t like the specs, look elsewhere. This is not for you. Why bash the product?

selecta56 · 16 years ago

oops, i forgot that Acer-eMachines D730 is a laptop…sorry! i was so hasty.

selecta56 · 16 years ago

@manong
what are the specs of the desktop pc that you have mentioned?

it seems like a good bargain given that it’s acer.

selecta56 · 16 years ago

the price of this netbook is good but, i hope that they’ll quit on using Intel GMA and opt on using Nvidia ION instead.

qwerty · 16 years ago

A single core Intel Celeron or Core 2 Solo is better than the dual-core Atom. Atom is made to operate on low voltage, right? I do not expect much peformance from a dual-core Atom but, still it’s good to see that this little processor gets better time by time.

I hope that there will be a day that a dual-core Atom can perform at higher speeds without sacrificing much energy (if possible).

@biggs/dreadblack

Acer-eMachines D730 332g25mn 25,995 (from PC Corner)

Pasensya na po mas mura pa ang desktop eh…

i doubt someone could browse for 8 straight hours using that small screen… hope his eyes won’t bleed and his fingers don’t go numb for that scrolling sideways and downwards.

maybe 3 hours, which a laptop actually do… and more.

manong · 16 years ago

you know what is really mobile and has actually long battery life?

a smartphone! next would be a tablet… i hope dreadblack & biggs know about those gadgets! some are below 20k btw…

manong · 16 years ago

have u seen the sizes of these 11″ netbooks compared to a 14″ laptop?

so 3 inches is the difference between mobile and non-mobile nowadays, huh? unless you are below 5ft tall, maybe.

manong · 16 years ago

@dreadblack/biggs

ever heard of e-machines & neo and even msi laptops? your know-about is quite limited… please read more yugatech topics please!

jan · 16 years ago

neo laptop

dreadblack · 16 years ago

@biggs

desktop pc ata ang ibig nyang sabihin. :D
i hope mareview na sya agad. :)

agrimensor · 16 years ago

If its 14.1″ below then its mobile. But for me the biggest factor into buying these netbook is battery life.

Manny · 16 years ago

it may not be much, but its a good alternative to the iPad, if mobility is the intention.

Biggs · 16 years ago

@manong – and what i3 laptop are you referring to? cnxa na di na ako familiar..

manongnongal · 16 years ago

@manong:
the point is mobility.. i doubt if anyone intends to work full time with a screen this small.. simply using it for browsing and the occasional light gaming and encoding..

manong · 16 years ago

a better processor like i3 makes the job faster and has better multi-tasking so u don’t need a couple more hours, imho!

also has a better resale value since it is not gimped like a netbook.. upgradeable pa!

manong · 16 years ago

for 3k more u get a bigger screen, hyperthreading, hd graphics, dvd-rw and upgradability…

so what is the point?

manong · 16 years ago

just add 3k and u get an i3 laptop… well?

lolipown · 16 years ago

Where in those specs did it say that it’s not a netbook?

Joshua · 16 years ago

PARA NGANG HINDI NA NETBOOK E

lawrence · 16 years ago

wow, 10 hours battery life?!

I’m getting only two hours only on my current netbook. I’ll be eying on this one. I hope this gets reviewed how the battery fairs on real usage.

gringo · 16 years ago

sana may review na dito para malaman tlga kung totoong 10hrs yan battery..

specs are impressive!

Guy · 16 years ago

it’s good that more and more netbook competitions are coming out. makakamura tayo in the end.

ithons26 · 16 years ago

deym 10 hours battery life? and only 24k? sayang sana eto na lang binili ko :( i recently bought a netbook, lenovo ideapad S10-3t which is also a touch tablet. sobrang mediocre ng battery life nya 2 hours lang on a single charge minsan nga hindi pa eh. aside from that ang bilis pang uminit. balak ko ngang ibenta and bumili uli cause im not really happy with it. lesson learned! wag maging atat hehe

GoLAKERSGoLAKERS · 16 years ago

just another netbook around the corner… I dont know if this laptop can get a steady footing on the market of netbooks in the Phils. The trio of Asus acer and msi still leads.
