ok na yan for basic apps and surfing. just dont play 3D games with it. you might want to upgrade to at least 512MB RAM

**j_avonni** · July 21st, 2006 10:39 AM

Magkano additional cost if I upgrade to 512 MB? And, could I do the upgrading later?

**BlueBimmer** · July 21st, 2006 10:43 AM

probably 2-3k i think..yes you can upgrade much later on IF the laptop memory allows additional modules, ask the seller

**kimpOy** · July 21st, 2006 11:30 AM

tulad ng mga threads ko sa gadgets.ph
naghahanap din ako ng notebook, isa yan sa mga nakita ko,
actually sa octagon pampanga kaya nilang ibigay ng 32K cash

pero sabi ni tech guru na si PK

Compaq Presario V2000 nasa 34K daw widescreen na ang altec pa speaker

imho sa aking notebook hunting get atleast 1.6ghz processor, at least 512mb ram and better optical drive and after sale support for the least price...

good luck
btw sale ngayon sa states ng laptop check mo bestbuy

Dont buy that. The supplier of NEO has a New Promo wherein a Centrino Laptop is now available for 39,999. That model your referring to ay bumagsak na ang presyo to 29,999.

wag ka mag generic, makakuha ka ng mga acer or toshiba for roughly the same price. Sigurado ka pa sa reliability dito

We own a NEO laptop ourselves. No complaints so far. We had to upgrade from our reliable ASUS A3400L since it was getting too sluggish for photo and video editing. Plus we needed something that was capable of burning to DVD, without burning a hole in our pockets.

It's funny, me promo ang NEO nung April-May 2006, 10k off the regular price (P69,999) if you trade in your old desktop/laptop computer. Nakita lang namin yung promo nung malapit nang matapos, hindi na kami umabot. Then they extended the promo until supplies lasted, hindi pa rin kami umabot. About a month later, nabili din namin yung unit without having to trade in anything -- and it only cost us P52,999.

How about the Toshiba Satellite L30. It's price is P42,000 +. I was not able to get the full details, except for:

Intel Celeron M
256 Memory
Wireless
2 USB
56 kb modem

**rlp1099** · July 23rd, 2006 09:34 AM

one thing you might want to check is Neo has comprehensive support in following areas:
-bios updates
-s/w updates
-after sales support

those things you'll start looking for along the way
you may wish you had it some cases

**claRkEnt** · July 23rd, 2006 09:42 AM

don't forget also the WEIGHT factor. NEO laptops are heavy as a mobile unit.

I saw it on PC Express Online. The 0% promo is extended up to July 31, 2006. However, when we inquired from its Fairview Branch, we were told that after some verifications the credit card company (BPI Mastercard) is not honoring their promo extension.

**Psylocke** · July 23rd, 2006 11:16 AM

My friend's Neo Q-note was crap

This is toshiba's new entry level notebook pc. Personally, i would choose this over the neo. A difference of 2000+ isnt all that much. With this product you could be assured of product support.

note: this is the Asian specs for this laptop, not sure though if this is the same specs they have for the Philippines (probably is, but im not too sure if OS is included)

**RedHorse** · July 23rd, 2006 06:18 PM

experience ko lang with compaq, weird ang setup ng support..

1st call hp/compaq phil..

2nd hp/cpq phil will refer you a tool free no. for tech supp and ask for part no. of need part(s).. indian tounge ang nasa other end

3rd with the part no. of needed spare parts, only then you can proceed to order from hp/compaq phils, pay the bill at bpi, fax your order with the deposit slip, confirm your order and payment if received, then ask for delivery date

4th wait

* hindi nalang pinag-isa ang 2 and 3... magkamali ka pa ng pronounciation.... goodbye support!

This is the one. The OS is included. Kaya lang masyado maigsi ang battery life ng standard battery - 1.5 hrs. only. Also, it is 1" wider that my Toshiba Satellite A50, which was bought more than a year ago - hindi pala sa akin, sa office pala.

Btw, I already bought it.

Thanks for your inputs.
