Neo Elan LD5HW

This laptop is my personal favorite. It is lightweight and it only has a screen size of 11.6″ but it still sports a specification that can pop your eye out. Yep, the Neo Elan LD5HW is powered by an Intel® Core i5-3230M processor, NVIDIA GeForce® GT 650M and an 8 GB of RAM. 11.6″ is not really that small for me. Well, if you are a gamer that loves to have a lightweight laptop but still able to play games at high settings then this is the laptop for you. The Neo Elan LD5HW is available in two variants – the one loaded with Windows and the other one loaded with Linux. The prices of those are P37,999 and P34,999 respectively.

This is the laptop the best gaming laptop that Neo has to offer for us. The Neo Elan LD7KW features a very powerful hardware and it also packs some features that you’ll surely love. This beast is powered by a Quad-Core Intel® Core i7-3630QM along with NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 670MX and the 8 GB RAM. That GPU is one of the most powerful GPU to date. The guys from Neo told us that it can play Crysis 3, Skyrim and Starcraft without experiencing problems. If you’re still not happy with that then feast on your eyes at the display because it’s a 15.6″ Full HD display. Photo and video editors might love the high resolution display. 

The features doesn’t stop there because the Neo Elan LD7KW features a illuminated Multi-Colored Backlight with special WASD keys. Yeah, you could customize the colors of the Backlight. And lastly, to have an amazing audio experience on the laptop, Neo built the laptop with Onkyo Speaker System inside. Yeah, that’ll give you a high definition audio. Neo also told us that this laptop could reach up to 5 hours of gaming on battery. Not bad. Well I hope we could have a review unit to test it ourselves. If you want to have this one then get ready to shell out P67,999 or P70,999 for Linux and Windows inside respectively.
