UK Netbook Review

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.

BenQ, also know as LG, is coming out with another new netbook, the LG X130, which as been spotted in on the FCC website in the US.

Looking at the pictures (more after the break) and specs nothing seems to jump out as groundbreaking or particularly excisting. It doesn’t seem to be too much of a departure from the earlier X110, X120 except for a black coloured bezel and a new hinge.
