Neo Basic B3510 Dual-Core Netbook

Neo Philippines held a Christmas party for members of the media the other day and also introduced several new laptops including this 11.6-inch dual-core Neo Basic B3510.

Neo Basic B3150
11.6″ display @ 1366×768 pixels
Intel Atom D510 1.66GHz Dual-Core
Intel GMA 3150
2GB DDR3 RAM
320GB HDD
6-cell battery (up to 4 hours)
Webcam
Multi-card reader
Windows 7 Home Starter

This 12-inch netbook retails for only Php19,995USD 341INR 28,885EUR 325CNY 2,481 which makes it the best bang for the buck in its category (it’s actually the first 12-incher to be sold at under 20k and the first dual-core at under 20k as well so I think it’s a sweet deal). The Atom D510 is an old dual-core processor which was really meant for nettops. The newer dual-core Atom is the N550 which has a TDP of just 8.5 watts compared to the 13 watts on the D510.

i wonder why laptop makers are still sticking to the 6-cell battery? Is it that costly/hard to provide 9 or 12-cell batteries?

I just don’t get it. Most laptops today have the iCore series and these power-consuming GPU’s but you can only use them for maximum of 2-3hrs under max settings! How productive.

@garz – I think the game is not about expanding battery capacity but lowering battery consumption of the system.

tama si sir yuga… today’s trend is lowering power consumption while giving superior experience sa user. consider CRT TV’s and monitors… sobrang taas ng consumption ng kuryente… tapos mataba pa at malaki at mabigat tapos hindi pa masyadong maganda ang picture quality… pero ngaun may LCD na… na mas maganda sa lahat ng aspect pero mas mababa ang konsumo sa kuryente. may LED pa nga eh…
