"Intel Atom-based netbooks and nettops are now commercially available in the Philippines from both local and multinational industry players, featuring enhanced capabilities and features such as increased hard-disk capacities. Netbooks are currently available from Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, Lenovo, MSI and Neo; while nettops are available from Intel’s channel partners and Asus. There are now more than 60 netbook and nettop designs available worldwide.
“Netbooks and nettops have received a strong positive reaction in the Philippines over the past couple of months,” said Navin Shenoy, general manager, Intel Asia Pacific. “With more OEM and channel partners introducing Intel Atom-based netbook and nettop solutions in the Philippines, more Filipinos will benefit from access to the internet.

They can also be used for playing basic online games, social networking and making voice over IP phone calls.
