Laptops Arena

The LG LW25 is one of the class of ultraportables that takes advantage of the widescreen format.

Always the limiting factor, the 12.1-inch LCD on the new aspect ratio leads to a laptop significantly smaller than a ream of A4 paper. Despite the diminutive size, the LG LW25 manages to incorporate an optical drive under the hood.

In a move to attract the trendy user, LG has added color options for the lid of the machine. While not interchangeable, buyers can pick the navy blue or burgundy red. There is also a nice LED indicator for wireless activity, a thin blue line 2 inches long that lies at the bottom edge of the lid.

The LW25, despite its form factor, possesses a 1.8-inch 60GB hard drive, albeit a slow 4,200rpm model, as well as a DVD-RW that supports DVD-RAM but not dual-layer.
