LG Xnote T1
Are you looking for a notebook that is thin and light, but a 12 inch screen is just too small? Check out the Xnote T1 from LG. TrustedReviews has the details on the slim machine.
The Xnote T1 is a 14.1in super waif which is just 21mm thick and weighs a miniscule 1.9Kg. Its tight dimensions are backed up by chockablock hardware too with LG managing to squish inside an Intel Core Duo L2300 1.5GHz processor, up to 4GB of RAM, an 80GB HDD and a choice of two displays: WXGA (1280 x 800) or WXGA+ (1440 x 900).
WiFi, Bluetooth, a fingerprint sensor, 5-in-1 memory card reader and – incredibly – a dual layer DVD rewriter also make it across while there is a choice of six or nine cell Li-ion batteries. You’re not going to be fragging anyone with the integrated graphics but you probably wouldn’t have time anyway given all the attention you’re likely to get carrying this beauty round.
LG Xnote TX
LG is releasing the LG Xnote TX sometime in the future, and already people are taking note, as the machine is a stunning ultra-portable notebook with some really decent features. The Xnote TX has a 1.3 GHz Pentium-M ULV 773 processor, 2GB of DDR RAM, 60GB of storage space, and an average 64MB Geforce Go 7300 graphics module.
Some of what really sets this machine apart is the fact that it has some serious connectivity built in, going beyond the normal 802.11a/b/g and Bluetooth 1.2 connectivity due to the addition of a DMB, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, module for mobile television reception. You might have to squint a bit, as the LG Xnote TX is wrapped in a 12.1 inch, 1280×800 WXGA display. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the DMB technology in many parts of the world, but it is expanding, and it is always nice to have the option if available.
The pricing and availability for the Xnote TX have not yet been announced, but hopefully we will hear more soon.
LG Xnote S1
LG is one of the many companies people forget about when they are thinking about getting a laptop, and really they should be thinking LG as one of the first on their list, as they have some really stylish machines, and if you are thinking Core Duo for your processor, then LG already has a machine for you. Coming in black and while, the Xnote S1 is thin and stylish.
One of the most noteable features is the inclusion of the Intel Dual Core CPU. The next thing you’ll likely notice is the 15.4 inch WSXGA screen that has a beautiful 1680×1050 pixel default resolution.
If you want to throw a party, the Xnote S1 includes 5.1 surround sound, so between the display and the sound, you have a pretty nice portable theatre. There is also a dedicated “Direct Media Experience Button” that shoots you straight into an interface designed for DVD, CD, or MP3 playback.
For gaming you will be lookinga t one of ATI’s new Mobility Radeon X1300’s or higher, which is better than an integrated solution by far.
While there is no mention of the battery life or any other details on specifications at this time, it looks like LG is earning its place in the laptop world.
