LG Netbook in the works?

Darius Chang | Jul 24, 2008

According to Digitimes, the latest vendor to join the Netbook race will be LG with the Atom-based X110. Manufactured by MSI--the maker of the competing Wind series--the X110 will have an 8.9-inch display, 2GB RAM, 120GB harddisk and run on Windows XP. But if you expect this sub-notebook to go for a song, think again.

Like most of LG's laptop offerings, the rumored X110 will appeal with its design and materials rather than cost, which is said to range between NT$19,000 (S$850.56) and NT$24,000 (S$1,074.38). LG's market audience for this model reside in the US and Europe, though we have contacted the local representative regarding Asian availability. But at this price point, we have doubts if it can compete effectively with ASUS and Acer in this market.
