NEO EDGE Z3265

Friday, June 25, 2010 - - 0 Comments

Neo has entered the year with a cutting edge design with its ultra thin, more portable laptop. The new Neo Edge Z3265 that is carefully imagined and put into reality to provide an outstanding balance with portability and performance.


The new notebook from Neo provides an amazing Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 1.30 GHz underneath. This gives the laptop the power without compromising the thinness of its appearance. Intel technology is among the trusted CPU’s used today. By power the edge Z3265, it gives more speed in booting up as well as running other applications. To get even greater speed, a 2GB of RAM is fitted to do processes swiftly boasting incredible power regardless of its thickness.

It is also fitted with a Bluetooth technology to ensure recent additional gadgets to be used with the equipment. In addition, a 3G capable sim card ready slot is provided. So the Neo Edge Z3265 is not only for PC applications but can also be used as cellphone where you can send and receive texts and calls. To entice you more further, this notebook is also wifi capable with a b/g/n specification.



All things on this notebook are great as it can be used for various businesses and multimedia applications. The downfall begins with the graphic memory of the edge z3265 as it only had a 32MB shared memory. I don’t know if the settings can be modified giving it with at least 256MB of graphics. Another disappointment is its battery life equipping it only with 3-cell Lithium Polymer Battery giving the notebook between 2 to 3 hours of power. It compromises the notebooks portability as it cannot provide steady power with a powerful processor like the Core 2 Duo.
