LG X300 super thin ultraportable in video hands-on
March 24, 2010 at 5:11 pm
The LG X300 is one of the thinnest 11.6-inch ultraportable’s around. It measures just 17.5mm in thickness and weighs only 970g. Engadget has managed to get some hands-on time with the X300 and felt that it was more akin to holding an e-reader rather than a laptop.
Build quality seems solid, despite the plastic construction. The screen was bright although a bit too glossy. The keyboard has no flex, but there are concerns over the touchpad and the click mechanism, despite it being quite large overall.
It is expected to hit some regions by the end of the month (not including Europe or the US) although pricing still remains a mystery (we can guarantee it won’t be cheap though!) Check out the hands-on video after the cut. Read more

The LG X300 won’t come cheap, it measures just 17.5mm in thickness and weighs only 970g. It eschews a bezel and comes with a fancy reflective keyboard and borderless touchpad. It will be available in both shiny white and light brown colours. Read more

February 22, 2010 at 2:18 pm
LG has announced a new CULV-based ultra-thin in the form of the 11.6-inch T280 series. Two models are available; the T280-GR63K that is powered by a 1.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor and the T280-LR3PK which has an Intel Pentium SU4100 processor. Both come with Windows 7 Home Premium.

January 20, 2010 at 8:36 am
The super-slim LG X300 has seen its first promotional ad, trying to hit home just how skinny it really is. It uses the same envelope stunt used by Apple when showing how thin its Macbook Air was.
When the ultraportable is taken out, the Apple system is referred to as “unthinkable” and chooses the LG X300 instead that is thinner (0.7-inches) and lighter (2.1lbs). Check out the video after the break. Read more

LG X30 XNote: 11.6-inch super-slim netbook outed
December 13, 2009 at 12:40 am
LG is a company that has released some solid netbooks in the X110, X120 and X130 but hasn’t pushed them aggressively in key markets unlike other manufacturers. Hopefully that will change with the LG XNote X30 which recently passed through the FCC. What we can glean from the specs is that this skinny beauty will sport an 11.6-inch (1366 x 768) LED backlit display and weighs just 1.1kg (2.4lbs) including a 6-cell battery.
It will come with an unspecified Intel Atom processor paired with GMA 500 graphics. Other features include a chiclet keyboard, multi-touch gesture touchpad, Wi-Fi (draft-N), a SSD drive, card reader and two USB ports. It will also come with optional Bluetooth 2.1 and 1.3MP webcam. All of the ports are located at the back that keeps its sleek lines (the sides unusually have no ports whatsoever). There’s little other information, but hopefully we’ll hear something official on the LG X30 soon. Check out some pics after the cut. Read more
Samsung & LG to see strong netbook growth in 2010
August 14, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Both Samsung & LG will see strong netbook volume growth during 2010 according to industry sources. Shipments are forecast to reach around seven million units, this compares to the 12 – 15 million units that is projected for Acer, one of the leading netbook manufacturers.
Part of this growth is expected to come from the companies close ties with telecom operators. Both companies already manufacture their own handsets as well as netbooks. Bundling subsidised netbooks with data contracts is already big business, but the choice of devices offered is expected to grow.
