LG XNote LGX30 Gets FCC Clearance [Ultrathin LG Netbook Submitted to FCC, US Release Coming Soon?]

Tweet

LG has submitted their ultra-thin netbook attempt to the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC’s Report reveals pictures of the ultra-thin computer and should signal that the 11″ netbook is coming to American shores soon.

The LG XNote LGX30 sports a thin, sleek design (a bit MacBook-esque, maybe?). The netbook will weigh only 1.74 pounds, and comes with a 3-cell battery. The specs are as follows – 11.6″ LCD Screen, a SSD hard drive, an Intel Atom processor (no clockspeed announced) and Intel GMA 500 video. No amount of RAM has been declared, but the LGX30 will come with Bluetooth, WiFi and a webcam.

South Korea’s LG rarely releases their computers here in the United States, so the LGX30 could be a test case. No pricing was revealed, but expect the LGX30 to run between $500-$600. No timeline on a release was announced either, but with the netbook being submitted for FCC approval, it’s close, probably no earlier than March of 2010.
