UK Netbook Review

Wayerless has managed to get some hands-on time with the LG’s upcoming netbook called the X140.  Predicably, it’s powered by the new 32nm Intel Atom N450 Pinetrail processor and has a 10.1” screen with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels.  Maybe the most promising feature is that this unit comes with a SIM card slot, which means [...]

Wireless Goodness turned up this entry at the FCC today. It’s a new Pinetrail netbook from LG to be called the X20. The rounded design is somewhat unusual, and reminds me a bit of a Smartbook, but the hardware on this new mini-laptop is certainly netbook all the way. It comes with a hi-res 10.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1to 2GB of memory, and a 2.5 inch hard drive (most likely 250gb). Further to that, it should also include WiFi, Bluetooth, a 1.3MP webcam, and an optional HSPA 3G modem. 4 or 6 cell battery options are available, with the netbook weighing 2.6lbs with the 4 cell.

Remember that MacBook Air commercial where it slips out of an impossibly slim manila envelope? Well, LG’s new super slim Atom Z powered LG X300 (introduced at CES 2010) is featured in an ad that’s, um, somewhat similar.

LG’s new thin and light 11.6″ netbook has been spotted at the FCC. Oddly, this LG netbook called the LG XNote LGX30, will feature the Intel Poulsbo platform (Atom Z series CPU, GMA 500 graphics) and not the upcoming Pinetrail hardware that most new netbooks are being announced with.

The Joybook Lite has ‘eco’ in it’s name due to the fact that’s it’s made form 25 percent recycled materials. It also has the ability to save power, and your precious battery life with its hybrid disk drive setup with the option of using both a spinning HDD and a solid state drive (SSD). The six cell battery, we should add, is integrated into the frame of the Joybook and is able to power the netbook for 7 hours after just a 1 hour charge (claimed) and potentially longer with a full charge.
