The netbooks of the Philippines

Nicole from Netbok News is apparently spending some time in the Philippines, and she’s been spending some time checking out some of the netbooks available there, including:

Suzuki Neutron 1001 QN – $400 netbook with an Atom N270 CPU, 10.1″ display, a SIM card slot, a decent keyboard, and a touchpad with buttons awkwardly placed on the left and right sides
Neo Vivid 1101 – 8.9″ netbook with a small touchpad and no shift key on the right side and a glossy lid, but non-glare screen
Minix UNOTE M1000 – $300 netbook w/10.1 inch screen, and no operating system
QUBE M1: 10 inch netbook with a 3 cell battery for 17,00 Philippine pesos, or about $367 (although Nicole mistakenly converts it to $175 US).

Hit up the links to see hands-on videos with each laptop.

There are tons of netbooks available here in Manila. HP netbooks, in particular, are widely available. Recently purchased a Toshiba NB205 (NB200 here for some obscure branding reason), it cost bout 30% to 40% more compared to its SRP in the US — worse, its coupled with a 3cell instead of the standard 6cell

Actually to add to this list, you can look at this link of a computer shop offering a range of USD 250 to 400 Taiwan Made netbooks.

Been trying to get some additional info on these netbooks so far what I gathered is it is made by a company called Firefly Mobile, whose website I cannot find in the net.
