It is dubbed the NEO eXplore (what's up with the small e and capital X?) and it is being considered by some as a competitor to the Asus EEE PC. What I have really been wanting is a small laptop that I can carry around wherever I go. I am not looking for the highest specs (yeah, this is going against my nature) - all I want is something that will connect to the Internet and let me work on my blog and writing jobs wherever I go.
The advantages of the eXplore? It's small and the casing looks tough enough. It comes preloaded with Windows XP and it has a 30G HDD.
The disadvantages? It looks too cute. Unlike the EEE PC, the eXplore looks as if it were made for a child. It also has the Celeron as its processor. I swore I'd never buy a Celeron.
For a little over $400 (PhP19k++), I think it's a good buy. The NEO girl is coming back to the office today. I'll make my decision later.
What do you think? Should I get the eXplore or am I just wasting my money?

I want it too!!! I want it, I want it, I want it! What do you think Numi? Should we get it?
I've never heard of a NEO. But I know a celeron processor is supposed to be slower. It looks cute enough though. I have a Dell inspiron and I'm on my third keyboard in 6 mos. So I would not have any good advice for a laptop.
I don't know - I am not decided yet and it seems the signs are pointing the other way.
