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

Wala pa ako masyado alam about laptop specs when I bought myself a neo notebook for my office needs some 3 years ago. I was a new prof then so I thought I had to buy agad because of my work demands. Sa tatlong taon kong ginamit ang Neo notebook na nabili ko, I can say it has served its purpose naman, and even up to date, it still does. Though there came a few rough times din. Nangyari dati nagulat na lang ako it suddenly shut down with a frozen blue screen, pero after less than an hour it came to life again. May 3 times sigurong naulit. Una akong nadisappoint dun sa pag-fade nung plastic palm rest at touch pad. I realized underneath the seemingly-attractive matte finish, pangit pala yung material. Pero it still went fine naman in terms of functionality and overall build quality. Until a few months ago, I discovered it harbored a crack sa lower right portion ng display bezel niya. Medyo nag-alala ako thinking that it might eventually break further together with the LCD. Then ininspect kong maigi at nakita ko na iba pala at separate yung pagkaka-design sa bezel at sa LCD so sabi ko sa sarili ko, it will work fine basta ingatan ko lang. Ayun, hanggang ngayon buhay pa siya at mabilis pa rin ang takbo. It’s running on a core 2 duo processor and 2GB RAM. Binigay ko na sa sister ko kasi I bought a new notebook, one from ACER TimelineX series.
Mahal ko yung old Neo ko although hindi maganda ang design, we’ve been together through good and bad times.
Masasabi ko lang, depende rin siguro sa user ang longevity ng isang device no matter the brand. I dont want to be unfair saying na naging maingat ako sa paggamit ng Neo ko pero nag-crack pa rin siya. Truth is, ilang beses ko rin siya na-bump against hard surfaces.
Payo ko lang, kung may enough or medyo malaking pera naman kayo, It’s but wise to consider going for a unit coming from most reputable brands in the market. :)

I have a neo laptop and it’s been 3 year with me. I did’nt encounter any problem and I’m using it up to now.

Actually gusto ko sana tong mga bagong designs ng Neo… kaya lang may bad experience ako with Neo. I bought 1 before, mga 1 year ko lang din nagamit, while I was on our dining table surfing the internet, bigla namatay yung laptop, then nag amoy sunog. then punta ako sa mega mall service center, then tagal tinignan… then inamoy amoy ng technician.. then finally may conclusion na sya, nasunog at nagshort nga daw yung motherboard, sabi ko bakit ganun… not in anyway nababasa sya or what. hindi makasagot yung technician, palitan na lang daw ng motherboard, then nung sabi ko magkano ba ang motherboard for this??? sus, patay na parang bumili na ako ng bagong laptop sa presyo. kaya iniwan ko na lang sa kanila, kinuha ko lang yung hard drive at memory ko. hehehe. so mejo risky yata to buy Neo pa rin.

“one could only wish for a better & proud philippines..”

I didnt know Neo is a local brand until now.I have to agree with you Manong but when it comes to incentives the gov’t really sucks.

Una Laptop ko is Neo, wala pa ako alam sa mga specs nun… basta laptop sige bili. 3 laptop binili ko. Lahat NEO. After a year, sira lahat…

Iyong isang NEO bigla nalang nag cracked ang LCD. Hindi naman inaalis sa table yun.. its like desktop lang… hindi nilalabas ng bahay or inaalis sa table pero bigla nalang nag cracked LCD.

Yung isa ayaw na gumana ng DVD.

Yung isa naman, may green line sa LCD na marami.

Sirain talaga na brand ang NEO.

I’m happy with my MacBook Unibody now.

yeah bad experience with neo din. keyboard naman and ambagal nung service center nila sa megamall. anyway this neo seems quite pricey for its brand. hindi pa well established.

buti pa kayo maganda ang experience sa NEO. my sister has an old neo empriva and after a year with her, nagcrack ang LCD screen by itself (SERIOUSLY!) siguro kasi mainitin yung laptop, kaya kahit nasa mesa lang sya all the time (never nailabas ng bahay at ng room) eh nagkaganun.

during that time, nabili namin yun at 25K. after we sent it for repairs, we got a call after two weeks saying na ang LCD replacement will cost 10K and the diagnosis fee and the repair fees will cost another 10K.

so technically, 20K para ipaayos namin. WTF?! eh 25K lang yun to begin with. buti nalang they offered to swap it to a new model. we did and sold that new one. the money we got from it went straight to a decent laptop, a macbook.

ayaw na namin ng neo.

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

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

Wha!! Their service center is at NCCC Mall here in Davao. Sorry!!

I have a neo laptop and it’s been 1 and half year with me and still loving it.

this is a new design from neo, glossy cover and screen and also ultra-thin design.

Hands down!

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)
