An eco-friendly notebook? You bet! Drawing inspiration from their own motto of “Inspiring Innovation. Persistent Perfection,” Asus continues to introduce products to the market that just makes us go “Why didn’t I think of that?”

With a commitment to going green, Asus has introduced the new U Series Bamboo Collection. First launched in 2008, the new U Series reasserts Asus’ commitment to the belief that “protecting nature is a joint effort that unites us all, but it does not have to exclude innovative design, memorable style and powerful computing potential.”

The new U Series has sport smoky brown bamboo exteriors. The natural bamboo exteriors made more beautiful with the contrasting with brushed aluminum interior surfaces and a seamless chiclet keyboard. A beautiful contrast of woody elegance and sleek metal. Because it uses bamboo, the Bamboo Collection notebooks is light.

Bamboo is not only beautiful and elegant, but more importantly, a durable but easily renewable resource. By using bamboo, the use of plastic for the notebooks are reduced by as much as 15%.

The Asus U Series Bamboo boasts of a Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) with a NVIDIA Optimus technology which function to conserve energy and extend battery life. With the Syncables technology, syncing with other devices is easy. Plus it features USB 3.0 ports.

Yes, there’s a lot of power in these eco-friendly notebooks from the U Series Bamboo Series of Asus.

Ok that photo is not a photo of the netbook, but of me testing it’s webcam.

I am now using the Neo B3233 Netbook. It comes with a Windows 7 OS.

NEO

I have just downloaded and installed a Chrome browser and a Flash player to it. I have tried browsing the internet, checking some of my blogs, microblog accounts, and signed on to some of my social networking accounts. It hasn’t slowed down or did anything weird yet.

So far, it is faring well. Battery life isn’t as long as I expected but I didn’t fully charge it yet. When I started using it, it had around 60% power left and I was able to use it for more than an hour before it asked to be charged. It hasn’t overheated, which is a common problem of Neo laptops. So that’s a good sign.

Will post the specifications and features of the Neo B3233 Netbook by tomorrow.

Core i Processors has Turbo Boost Technology, Hyper-Threading Technology, and can support Graphics. Best thing about it? The CORE i processors are available in sleek ultra-thin laptops. Super technology in light and portable laptops.

Kidding! That photo was taken during the Neo Edge Davao Press Launch, held earlier today, October 16, 2009 at the Cattleya Room of the Apo View Hotel. Neo Edge is the new line of netbooks/notebooks of Neo.

Why the slash? Because Neo Edge combines the portability of a netbook with the functionalities of a notebook. And it is powered by Intel processors and comes with a Windows 7 OS. Neo Edge Z3265 (P49,999 SRP) has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and packaged with a Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. Meanwhile, the Neo Edge Z3260 (P39,999 SRP) has an Intel Pentium processor and a Windows 7 Home Basic Edition. The battery life of both models is around 4 hours, and each has a 2 GB DDR3 memory and a 13.3″ High Definition display screen. Each one only weighs around 1.4 kg. Lightweight, I tell you! And they’re pretty slick too. Weighing slightly more at 1.5 kg is the Neo Edge Z3240 (P45,999 SRP) which has an Intel Premium processor, a 3 GB memory, a 13.3 inch LCD screen, and bundled with a Windows Vista Home Premium OS. And the Z3265 and Z Z3240 are both 3G capable.
