LG X130 netbook gets official, 12 hour battery life promised

The last we heard of the LG X130 was when it was doing its rounds at the FCC. LG has now officially announced the LG X-Note Mini X130. One of its main selling points is a 9-cell battery that can run for 12 hours under normal use or for 7.5 hours under video playback.

The LG X130 has a 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) LED backlit display. It will be powered by a 1.6GHz N270 Atom CPU, 1GB RAM and a 160GB HDD. Other features include Wi-Fi (b/g), Bluetooth 2.0 and Windows XP. In fact the X130 looks very similar to the X120, the major difference being the 9-cell battery.

Like other LG netbooks, it also has a dedicated key to access the Splashtop-based Smart-On operating system, which starts in less than 7 seconds. The LG X130 will come in three different colours (black, white and pink. The netbook will be released shortly across 30 countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Middle East / Africa. It is priced at 789,000 Korean Won (£385, $640, €448). Check out some pictures after the jump.
