Neo Edge Z3265: Neo’s Entry for Thin & Light

Neo’s got its own entry in the thin and light category — the Neo Edge Z3265, Edge Z3260 and Edge Z3240. We got a review unit of the Neo Edge Z3265 with photos and specs below.

The series was launched last October with 4 models in the line including another netbook (the Neo Edge Z1280 which has since been discontinued). The Edge Z3265 I have on loan is powered by an Intel CULV.

13.3″ display screen @ 1366×768 pixels
Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 @ 1.3GHz
2GB DDR3 RAM
Intel GS45 chipset
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M
320GB SATA HDD
Gigabit LAN
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
3 USB 2.0 port
HDMI port
1.3MP webcam

This model also comes with a 3G SIM card slot inside the battery compartment. I think this is the first one we’ve seen with 3G. The unit is less than 1 inch thin (23mm) and weighs just 1.45kg.

The suggested retail price for this model is Php49,999USD 852INR 72,229EUR 811CNY 6,205 while the lower model (Pentium Dual Core SU4100 and no 3G modem) is priced at Php39,999USD 682INR 57,783EUR 649CNY 4,964.

These lappies are slim indeed. Abe you might notice that when these notebook is opened there isn’t any branding. I was actually confused when I saw one and but realized it was the EDGE.

For the moment though its serious competition might be the Dell Vostro V13. This EDGE is thinner and lighter, but the Vosto just has the appeal. Plus if my calculations are correct we can get the Su7300 version at Php 32,250 Php. Even if you factor in the shipping costs it will still appear that the Dell offering will have better overall value. (Just close your eyes and say you don’t need the HDMi and 3G connectivity)

I bought my daughter (student) a NEO and she’s been using it for almost two years now. What impressed me was their after-sales service. We had it serviced at its SM Davao service center December of last year, and the people were great. No fuss, just polite explanation and totally efficient service. I place a high premium on this since I abhor arrogant and condescending service people (and I have met a lot).

NEO is a good brand, and I hope all their service people are like those at SM Davao.

I have a 2nd hand Neo, and its been performing pretty good… it serves its purpose… not bad for a Centrino Duo laptop that cost me only 13k…

now its running on Windows 7 Ultimate.. and ang ganda ng takbo nya… upgraded to 2GB RAM.

This has got to be the best looking Neo IMO. The price for higher model seem high though..

hmmm, this one looks nice. My only gripe with netbooks is that they don’t have a DVD-drive (well, netbook nga naman xa, haha). I’m still off looking for a good, small laptop with a Drive (but definitely not a Vaio haha). Any suggestions guys? :D

@carlo, how small are we talking about? hehe the Acer timeline 4810 has an optical drive.

looks pretty good for a neo device.. but the price is a little high. You can get the Asus UL30A for 46k (but without the 3G).

@yuga, any report on battery life for this device?
