Eric’s comments on this machine:

i bought a B2161 N less than 2 months ago. it was an emergency kasi the internal fan of my old laptop, a toshiba, broke down after six years of continuous use with minimum problems. wala lang available spare parts kaya di na pwede yung toshiba ko. so napilitan ako bumili ng laptop na kasya sa budget ko. ito nga yung neo.

the unit displayed some problems agad. nag distort ang monitor pag ina-adjust ang angle. i took a video of it and sent it to their customer care service. mabilis naman ang response nila. but they told me to bring the unit to their service center. less than 2 months may problema na!

the moral of the story: you get what you pay for. mura nga ang neo but ang trade-off eh di ka sure sa quality. looking back sana umutang na lang ako pandagdag sa budget ko para nakabili ako ng mas mahal pero pas dependable na brand.

Still, it’s pretty cheap!
