Just bought a Neo Endura 531NL from PCX Gilmore. Core Duo, 1GB Ram, 80GB HDD, USB, Card reader, wifi, modem, and integrated camera. May libre ka pang printer at 1GB na flash drive for 34K.

Nakagamit na rin ako ng mga ECS at older Neo models. So far la pa namang big issue except so onting ingat lang sa lock ng screen. May isa akong model nun na nagamit na di na naglalock pag close ng lcd dahil naforce kong buksan one time, nabali na. Hehe...

Pero if you really compare it with known brands like Dell, Acer, HP, and Toshiba (my favorite), iba talaga ung quality ng materials. The touchpad is a very good point of comparison, some Neo/ECS laptops have rather rough touchpads, tipong di mo malipat finger mo from point a to point b. Another good point of comparison is ung heat dissipation. Sa mga known brands kung maginit man sa baba lang talaga ng unit mostly napapadpad. Sa mga Neo/ECS umaabot hanggang sa patungan ng palad. Haha... pero so far so good naman. La pang bumibigay in terms of hardware, ung lock lang ang nayari ko for my experience with these "cheap" laptops.

Mahirap din kasing bumili ng mamahalin knowing na may Taiwan made na mas mura pero halos same lang spec. I can do with warranty din if ever this should be a risk with the cheaper Taiwan ones, but haven't encountered such so far kaya sige lang. hehe.. palit din naman ng palit after a while due to the trend of unending improvements in computer hardware and software.
swerte mo sir, i got mine for 39k - wala pang freebies non. siempre ilang buwan na rin nakalipas. may i dea ka ba sa worth ng adaptor? i lost mine. on my experience, i regret buying this one cause of their crappy after sales service and the heat. if i was able to save more, i rather buy the macbook that i can dual boot too
