Neo outs first Pine Trail netbook locally

Mura considering na 320GB ang HDD and 2GB ang RAM. Sa battery lang yata magkakaproblema.

Nice deal on this one. I like their after-sales too, from experience.

this looks like the neo basic B1230. and if they only change the processor of the B1230 to a pine trail version, then the battery would be a 4cell lithium polymer.

@Eason
explain…

Up to ilang hours kaya ang duration nito?

pag cash mura to 16500 lang. Pag 12 months 18999. sa lahat ng netbooks sa market on the same price point ito na may pinakamagandang specs (2GB ram and 320gb hdd windows 7 starter edition). Actually bought one for my wife. Observation ko malakas sumagap ng signal ng wifi stronger than compaq and ibm full laptop sa bahay. mejo naliliitan lang ako sa vertical dimension ng screen. mas madalas ka mag scroll down. about the battery life ala pako observation kasi kakabili palang kagabi pero i think nagamit more than 3 hours on maybe 50% charge when we bought it.

mga tol nid ko help.. where can i get drivers of neo b3230 for windows xp..please help me

Sorry for the late reply,

I had such worse experience with HP, Compaq and Neo. In my perspective those brands that have the worst battery life! We had a Neo Emprivia NPV2 and the battery was unchargable after 6 months, we inquired about the warranty and NEO rejected the repair of the laptop battery instead they repaired the speaker, when it came back to me its BADLY scratched. Now our neo is just a plug-in laptop.

As for HP and compaq, I have lots of classmates and friends that uses those brands, and all of them have less than 30 mins of battery life. Their laptops are even the Multimedia Edition of HP and the Compaq CQ40-10 models. Which are not more than 1 year old in the market.

My guess is that those brands doesn’t cut the charging of the battery even when plugged in. Not like Acer, Asus, MSI those brands doesn’t overcharge your laptop.

I’m currently using a Asus X80N laptop, and its been 1 year and 5 months now, and I’m pleased with its performance and battery life.

san ka nakabili at 15999? best price nakita ko e sa compex at 16999, wid smart bro n sleeve, cash price.

To all,
so ok ba performance nito? diba overheat?

I bought this unit b3230 amonth ago. nice specs and cheap. though im having a problem with the graphics resolution, its always asking to change the resolution to (recommended)khit nkaset nman na.
at khit nsa 250mb na ang total video memory nhihirapan pa din sa ibang low end games. at d npapalitan ang wallpaper (maybe becoz sa OS na Windws 7 starter).

Tips on battery: remove the battery kung isasaksak mo rin lang sa kuryente.

Sa windows 7 Starter, kayang palitang wallpaper pati login screen, kasi sakin nagagawa ko, note hindi nga ksama sa function nia, need mo lang matinding tweak :D

yam meron ,sa kanan, 2 usb port, gumagmit na ako extended 4 usb port, niingatan ko lang yung port ko :)

@Taz, dual os, din ako, UBUNTU NETBOOK REMIX yung bago and Windows 7 Starter :) yung sakin ha ewan ko kay TAZ

sa ubuntu 9.10 hindi gumagana ang wireless ng NEO B3230 kaya im thinking of Dual OS (Linux Mandriva and Windows 7)

@deathrow – gumana ba wireless mo sa ubuntu netbook release?

taz,
regarding video memmory, so mas tatakbo ang photoshop sa neo kaysa msi because mas malaki video memory nito? tama ba?

@deathrow – sir link naman pls sa driver para sa wireless ng ubunto. ty! or if possible email at godfrey****@****.***

THANKS!

Realtec ang wireless natin, d ko dla usb ko dun driver e, office mode ako bro

@john anong modelo neo mo?, ako pagkabili ko neo bili agad ako mouse hehehehe, kahit dell ko bumibigay touch pad e, kaya wise lang sa pag gamit, kaso sa kaso nang octagon ay bad talaga yun pag ganun

ang brand ng akin ay neo basic b1230 atom…… nkakadla bumili….. next time mag destop nlang ako mas mdali pa ayusin kpag nka encounter ka ng mga problems…..

hey guys, browsing on your feedback regarding the B3230…. planning to buy this afternoon. So, would it be worth my money (Php15,990)? I just need it for internet surfing and lecture purposes… Thanks, NEO gurus!

Hey, where can I get the drivers for b3230 if I use windows XP. Really having a hard time with windows 7.
hope somebody replies.. thanks..

Hi Guys,

Kakabili ko lang ng b3230 last Friday at based sa nababasa ko dito, I’m happy I picked it. I never really read any reviews before I bought it. Sa 5 days ko paikot-ikot sa Park square at comparing the specs and price of the netbooks available there, eto napili ko. Thank God eto nga napili ko. hehe! =)

Anyway, naka-dual OS na ako. I installed XP Pro yesterday and it seems everything is working fine. The drivers are for Win7 (which is available in neo.com.ph) worked fine for XP Pro except for the the wireless driver. Bumalik ako kanina sa store to ask for their help. Unfortunately, wala daw silang WinXP driver para sa wireless.

Ang weird lang na sinabi nila is that yung wireless daw is Atheros or Broadcom (I don’t know what that means, I’ll check that when I get home later). This is in contradiction to deathrow’s message above.

Sir deathrow, realtek ba talaga yung wireless nito or same lang yung Atheros or Broadcom?

Matsalams mga guru!

guys help naman.. away gumana ng bluetooth ng b3230.. may bluetooth ba tla ito o wala?? Check ko yng manual may nkalagay na (factory option) sa bluetooth category..

i bought my neo B3230 about 4 mos ago. so far wala pa naman ako naencounter na problem.

@deathrow.. san may nabibili na usb port extension?

ty

the Neo B3230 is a great buy in for the prize, has mostly the latest processor for the atom which has low battery consumption, i already bought 2 of these for my younger sister, running at almost 4 months now, and another for my friend, i dont like the windows 7 starter, well since its a starter, doesnt contain much that they would be needing in an OS, i downgraded 1 netbook to windows vista business, at the other upgraded to windows 7 ultimate, and it was running remarkably faster on vista, all other adobe products like photoshop cs5, in design cs5, illustrator cs5, runs well on both, but still havent tried the adobe premiere, since with its built in gpu, i doubt rendering high quality videos to your desired output would be troublesome,

BUT OVERALL its really a good buy you wont be dissapointed with the price which is proportional to its specs and performance

@deathrow

Im wondering dun sa 8 hrs battery life?

I bought my Neo B3230, Last Dec I think and for me, ayos naman siya, nice speed, at kaunting tweaks para dun sa window 7 starter. themes, I’ve tried to use StarDock My Color for it once, but it kinda slows the booting time.

Games:
I Had run games Like Ran Online, Ragnarok, Vice City, San Andreas, Diablo2, and Dawn of War Soul Storm, and I’m quite satisfy for the performance.

Yung Bat life lang talaga ang kasi yung Neo ko I think 4~5 hrs.lang siya. :)

Good Day!

I upgraded my sister’s B3230 to Windows 7 Home Basic and downloaded the drivers from the Neo website. Everything worked except for the Wireless LAN, I kept on getting the error message :We do not support this operating system”.

I reinstalled the Windows 7 starter but experienced the same error message.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance!

@deathrow thank you it worked!

@Eason

Been using HP540 for more than 1 and a half years now.. im so very much satisfied with it considering na napaliguan na to ng kung ano ano.. I have a 2 year old son na lahat binabasa.. natapunan na to ng milk, water, juice, napaliguan din ng powder… still, wala pa din naging damage.. got this from globe at 24mos installment plan.. mabilis din sia and regarding batteries, i think nasa user yun.. its just like in cellular phones wherein, its bad for the phone if its batteries will always be drained.. mas mabilis kasi ma wear out ang mga batteries pag lagi na dedrain di ba.. yun lang.. thanks.. planning on getting this one also for my little sister..
