LG was out in force at Mobile World Congress this week, but the Korean behemoth wasn't just pimping its new phones -- it also announced the launch of its new X120 netbook, a successor to last year's X110. Offering integrated 3G and a 160GB hard drive, the LG X120 is looking like a serious contender in the crowded netbook market.
LG has included what it calls its 'Smart-On' interface, which allows the user to access their most frequently used programs just a few seconds after hitting the power button, without waiting for the OS to completely load on the desktop.
The LG X120 also incorporates the company's 'Smart-Link' technology -- which can connect to other computers to share files or install new applications via a USB cable -- and an advanced security function allowing users to safely share files while connected to other devices.
The netbook comes in white with either a lime or pink outer trim. The cover has a matte surface so there's no attracting fingerprints, smudges or scratches. It's available with either a three- or six-cell battery and measures 33mm thick by 264mm wide by 178mm deep.
It runs on Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, with an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, three USB ports, a 10.1-inch WSVGA screen with a 1,024x576-pixel resolution, and SRS WOW HD and TruSurround XT for sound.
The LG X120 netbook will purportedly see a March release in Europe, but there's no word on how much it will cost.
