Neo outs first Pine Trail netbook locally

Local PC manufacturer Neo could be the first one to release their own version of Pine Trail netbook, starting with Neo Basic B3230 and with a competitive retail price of Php18,995.

Neo Basic B3230
Intel Atom N450 1.6GHz
Intel GMA 3150
10.2â€ display @ 1024×600 pixels
2GB DDR2 RAM
320GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
1.3MP webcam
3-in-1 card reader

I was told that these will carry the same design as the previous Neo Basic netbook but will have the upgraded specs. Not sure though what the standard battery is — either a 4-cell Lithium Polymer or a 6-cell Li-Ion. The units will also have Windows XP pre-installed. The price is pretty reasonable too at Php18,995.

now we see how much other branded netbooks add to their selling prices.

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.

Price is a lot better than the Neo Edge Z3265 (Php49,999)

That Intel Atom N450 has a slightly lowered energy consumption (7watts compared to previous atoms ‘11.8 watts)

That Intel GMA 3150 also does not support HD decoding so 720p/1080p decoding is out of the picture

That Windows XP is a welcome addition since most likely if it was Windows 7 it would come as a Starter Edition.

That HDD makes it more feasable for a dual-booting netbook with a WinXP / GNU/Linux

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.
