LG enters Netbook market

28 August 2008

Is the LG Netbook X110 the beginning of the next stage in mobile connectivity?

LG has unveiled a portable mini laptop that offers a full PC-like experience. The launch of the LG Netbook X110 is a move that signifies the manufacturers developing approach to mobile communications, thus accessing data rather than simply making calls or sending texts.

Despite sporting a 10-inch widescreen, the LG Netbook X110 is impressively svelte and light, something we can vouch for firsthand having had a first look and feel of the device. The LG Netbook X110 will be available exclusively from Phones4u in pink and white from late October, with a black variant soon to follow. At present no price details have been provided though LG promises it will be "affordable".
