From seiji;
I own a Neo Empriva 540NVPi, which I bought August last year. Except for two occasions when it won’t load the BIOS (perhaps as a result of the laptop exposed to the cold–and I only warmed it up by hugging it and everything’s OK), everything’s smooth sailing. I’ve been operating it at nearly 24/7 conditions, and it’s still running.
I plan to install Windows 7 when I upgrade the hard drive to around 160GB. I added 1GB of RAM to the stock 1GB, so all I need is replace one module with 2GB RAM.
Despite the bad rap I’ve been hearing about NEO laptops, I’ve come to love this brand. Mom’s laptop is a NEO, too–a Celeron-powered Q-Note, and, albeit a slow WinXP due to the effects of a virus, it still works fine. I also ran her laptop at nearly 24/7 conditions when I was still borrowing it.
Thanks for seiji for sharing his laptop experience to us. Well this is to show that not all NEO laptops are defective in some way, it is just that some laptops work well and have been used by others more than they have know with out getting any major problems. I hope we get more feedbacks and comments about other laptop experience. Thanks again!

i’m lucky to get the same model as yours..i’m waiting for it to crash since i’ve read a lot of issues about neo laptops. so far, it’s been a year,and it works just fine. one problem, just like everybody, built-in webcam stop working in just 2 months i guess. tried to reinstall driver but still no response from the system. can you help? thanks.
Hi neo gal, my dad has that same unit and it’s still working well. Did you try the Fn + F11? I had a problem with that when I borrowed my dad’s unit too.
