Philippine PC manufacturer Neo and multinational computer processor
maker Intel have jointly launched a new 16,999-peso (406-dollar)
mini laptop, spokesmen said Saturday.
The Neo Explore is a "ruggedized and
shock-proof" laptop with a keyboard that will not be damaged by
spillages of liquids, said Neo spokeswoman Mariel Que.
It weighs 0.66 kilograms (1.45 pounds) and is
the size of a schoolchild's lunchbox but will have the memory
capacity and usual features of a standard basic laptop.
Though the Explore is primarily designed for
primary school children here, it can also be used by first-time PC
users for word-processing and Internet access, said Intel
Philippines country manager Ricky Banaag.
It will be available in stores in major
Philippine cities.
