LG released its X110 mini laptop earlier this year with the high-speed 3G connectivity support, in a small form factor with mirror finish black housing.
The new mini notebook computers offer now the pink color option in addition to the classic black and white, coming in a lightweight system weighting just 1.19Kg and sporting the 10-inch widescreen LCD display with LED backlight.

Running on the Windows XP Home operating system, LG X110 performs various user-friendly applications with a low power consume, thanks to the Intel Atom processing technology at 1.6Ghz speeds.

It is a great portable solution for web browsing, chat and multimedia functions, integrating a 1.3MP LG Smart Cam web camera, 160GB hard drive storage, up to 1GB system memory, Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics, Wireless LAN, dual quad-band antenna, Ethernet connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate, SRS WOW HD, SRS TruSurround XT, stereo speakers, Kensington Lock security, a 4-in-1 card reader, 3 USB ports, and an optional 6-cell battery.

"We are excited to work with LG Electronics to give consumers and business users the freedom and flexibility to access internet in the way they want it, wherever they are" says Mats Norin, Vice President, Mobile Broadband Modules, Ericsson. "Ericsson is also very pleased to be selected to provide mobile broadband modules to LG Electronics’ netbooks which is a segment that is forecasted to grow fast."

This was the declaration of Ericsson, the market leader in 2G and 3G mobile technologies, which has announced that it will provide its mobile broadband modules to the upcoming LG laptops and netbooks. The new portable computers will be available on the market this quarter with wireless connectivity based on HSPA comparable with DSL speeds.

Ericsson’s built-in modules enable high-speed wireless connectivity to the Internet on the notebooks and mobile Internet devices, at affordable costs, and without high battery power consume.



According to the latest statistics, in 2011 there will be 200 million laptop computers shipped and 50% will have the HSPA mobile broadband connectivity enabled. Ericsson’s modules based on HSPA double the system capacity, shortening the response time for interactive services, leading to 20 times faster downloads with GSM/GPRS. In the near future, the same technology will be enhanced and the speeds will reach 42Mbps in downlink and 12Mbps in uplink.

Currently, Ericsson broadband modules offer up to 7.2Mbps download speeds and 2Mbps uploads.

Among other innovative devices included in the Smart Technology and Stylish Design collection prepared for showcase at IFA 2008, largest Consumer Electronics trade fair, LG X110 is revealing a new netbook computer system featuring the high-speed 3G High-Speed Downlink Packet Access.

“We have set trends in the consumer electronics industry worldwide by creating products with the most advanced technology and most insightful designs,” said James Kim, President & CEO of LG Electronics Europe. “We are working to appeal to the sophisticated tastes of consumers in Europe more than anywhere else, to help them enjoy smart and stylish living.”

The 3G HSDPA technology enables download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps, while the 10/100 Ethernet connectivity allows you to connect the netbook to other computers to chare things over a single network. LG added the Wireless Local Area Network 802.11 b/g also.

The UMPC's design is characterized by a glossy finish and a white keyboard, wide 10-inch display and a small and slim form factor which allows you to carry it in one hand.

Other elements of the mini laptop include an Intel Atom low power consuming processor with 1600MHz speeds, the Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset, 1024MB memory, 80GB hard drive storage capacity, 3 USB ports, optional GPS and no Bluetooth unfortunately.
The price is unknown yet but we can assume it will be low, just like all the other subnotebooks on the market. It is expected in stores later this year.
