Review of Primebook 2 Neo’s Display & Usability

Moving on from the design, the Hindustan Times review discusses the 11.6-inch HD IPS matte screen of the Primebook 2 Neo. Here, Budhaditya noted that the display is “good enough for work, class, and streaming”. He also mentioned the viewing angles as a decent display feature. Further, the section appreciated the “comfortable” typing opportunity that the keyboard offers, particularly “for quick assignments or work notes”, alongside the “responsive” trackpad. 

Review of Primebook 2 Neo’s Hardware & Performance 

In this part of the review, Budhaditya points out that the MediaTek Helio G99 processor, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB UFS storage, is what makes Primebook 2 Neo “interesting”. This is especially because of its acute optimisation with the Android OS. He then added that “Multitasking between browser tabs, streaming apps, and a couple of document editors feels fluid” and “App switching is almost instant.”

Review of PrimeOS and The AI Layer

The review also takes a closer look at the Android 15-based PrimeOS 3.0, which lies at the core of Primebook 2 Neo laptops. The journalist regards this as the “real differentiator” that enables users to “get the familiar Android app ecosystem, but with a desktop-style layout and multitasking support.” He has appreciated the in-built screen-aware AI and stated that it's “ genuinely useful” to “summarize documents, pull quick references, or simplify text without needing third-party apps.” Here, he even gave merits to Prime X for opening  “access to cloud desktops running Windows or Linux”. 

Hindustan Times’ Final Verdict on Primebook 2 Neo 

The final verdict from Hindustan Times was pretty positive, especially as the journalist underscored the pros of this laptop. He praised the price point, the “AI features built right in, genuinely adding value instead of being a gimmick”, the Cloud PC feature that empowers with “scope beyond basic use”, portability, and the “Android flexibility” the PrimeOS brings.
