LG X300 Laptop Gets Official

Tweet

LG has a new ultrathin netbook / laptop for us and what better place than CES 2010 in Las Vegas to make it official? It’s a 11.6-inch machine which explains my problem. I don’t know if it should be included in the netbook or the laptop category. But after all, netbooks are simply smaller laptops so I wouldn’t be wrong no matter what I’d call it!

The LG X300 is an ultra-portable computer which only weighs 970g and measures 17.6mm in thickness. Well, sure, it’s not thinner than Adamo XPS from Dell but it’s almost there.

The laptop will offer you a 11.6-inch LCD display, a unique “reflective” keyboard and a borderless touchpad which features hidden lighting and tactile feedback. Inside that supple case you’ll find a 2.0GHz Intel Menlow platform based on Intel’s Atom Z550 chip, 2GB of RAM and a SSD ready to store your precious data. A simple 2-cell battery will last up to seven hours which is quite remarkable. Other features include Bluetooth connectivity, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, SRS TruSurround HD sound and a built-in 3G modem chipset.

Besides being ultra-slim and ultra-portable the laptop is also fanless which means it’s ready to go with you everywhere without disturbing the ones around you. Maybe James Bond could use one as it should fit very well in his next smart car that he’s going to destroy.

LG has added the Smart Pack to the X300 which is said to be the “smartest software suite for notebook and mobile PC users.” The Smart POP functionality will help you synchronize your smartphone with your PC over Bluetooth which means you’ll be able to read and reply to SMS messages straight from the computer without even touching the handset.

The X300 will be available worldwide starting with February, but we have no pricing details for you at this time. What do you say? Would you pick the LG X300 over any existing netbook?
