NEO recently launched its first Intel-powered Netbook PC, the Neo eXplore X-1,
designed to address the need for affordable Internet-capable PCs, and to provid
e a "simple, practical, PC-type gadget that is also ruggedized, durable and lig
htweight," said Mariel Que, business development manager of Neo.
Here's an interview I conducted. Video taken by INQUIRER.net online videographe
r Janie Christine Octia.
The new gadget was specifically designed for kids as a learning tool, as well a
s for users who mainly need to access the Internet.
Intel Philippines country manager Ricky Banaag said "Intel and Neo are working
to... develop affordable and relevant PC designs to suit local market needs. Th
e Neo eXplore is designed for people who previously couldn't afford to buy a PC
for accessing the Internet."
The Neo eXplore X-1 is priced at P16,999, and is powered by a 900-Mhz Intel mob
ile processor. It has 512MB memory, a 30-gigabyte flash drive, wifi and Ethern
et connectivity, two USB 2.0 slots and SD/MMC card reader, and weighs in at onl

has anyone tried running linuks on this yet?
this will be a big boost to make the youth computer literate at an early age
Where can I buy one?
i could say that the specifications are better than the asus eee pc.. but the d
esign is really for kids. If neo also wants to target an adult population pls m
ake a laptop which is formal looking. and an added specs is make it at 1.2-1.6
Ghz. there would be more who would by that pc, because children do not have the
ir own money right?
NEO? I dunno. Neo PC's aren't really big on durablity. My Empriva develop probl
ems after 1 year of regular use. Shoddy worksmanship really...
OMG it is running Windows XP, por pabor naman, huwag niyo turuan ng napakamahal
na Windows ang mga bata, magiging bobo at tamad sila.
Nice feature but not worth the money for its build quality... i'd rather pick
a second hand Asus laptop
Awtss parang ang mahal nyan ah. Pang kid lang? wahahahahaha
The look of the skin makes me feel like there is lot of unused space but what makes it good is that it is cheaper than the 8GB and 12GB Eee PC. It has an intel processor too and 30 GB HD which is an additional advantage for the kids to explore. The features I'd say well compliments the price.

the Neo eXplore X-1…There are lots of competitions to Eee PC and Rolex Watches
that are sprouting all over the place. I’m not surprised at this because it only means that they are the best. When a device is been considered as the best most of the competition will aimed to be better than the one that is dominating. It is otherwise known as professional jealousy.
