LG has announced a new notebook computer in Korea, the LG Xnote P210 which comes with a very – and I mean very – thin bezel. As a matter of fact, it might just have the thinnest bezel ever on a laptop.

Specs include:

• Intel Core i3-380UM (1.33GHz) | Core i5-470UM (1.33 GHz)
• Intel HD graphics
• 4GB RAM
• 320GB HDD
• Windows 7 Home Premium
• 5 hour battery

It’s one of the first and few notebooks to have a distinctive 12.5″ screen. It comes in three colors: lime, pink and white, and will cost upwards of a thousand dollars, at least if you convert it from Korean won. Price would most likely lower once, and if, it makes its way to the States.

The LG E-Note H1000B is LG’s Windows 7 sate PC with the following specs: 10.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel resistive touchscreen display, 1.1GHz Intel Atom Z510 or 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU, 16GB solid state disk and Windows 7 Starter Edition.

LG hasn’t made any announcements for a US release but it has been launched in Korea.

It also comes with 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetuooth 3.0 and WiMAX, 2 USB ports and an SDHC card slot as well as a removable 4 cell battery. Price in Korea has been announced as $850, but that doesn’t really mean anything until it’s been announced and released in the States.

The LG Optimus Pad might not make it out until the first quarter of 2011. The company is apparently plannng to wait until Google releases a more tablet-friendly operating system. The Google Honeycomb is set to launch soon after the Google Android Gingerbread version.

According to leaked specs, the tablet might also come with an 8.9″ display, and a dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip. Now if LG is planning to be revolutionary when it comes to tablets by waiting for the Honeycomb, they might also want to wait for NVIDIA to come up with a new version of Tegra chip since by that time, the one they have on their tablets might be a bit outdated, you know, pretty much like getting a netbook with an Intel Atom Z chip. Even with Google Android 3.0, a tablet with an old chip is still a tablet with an old chip. Especially since LG wants to be revolutionary in the tablet market and have many “firsts”.

Every other company is releasing a tablet or a dual-core netbook and LG isn’t about to be the last one to. They’re releasing a new, dual-core netbook version of their still new LG X140.

The updated version will sport a 1.5Hz Intel Atom N550 dual-core processor aside from a 10.1″, 1024 x 600 pixel display, and 250GB HD, along with an island-style keyboard and touchpad. The LG X140 is available in Asia and the Middle East.

If you recall, the older version of this model has a 1366 x 768 pixel display and 320GB HDD. Wonder if this lower end (but with a newer processor) version will ever see the light of day in the US.

The LG X140 is a 10″ netbook that has a little more to offer than other netbooks if you put it side-by-side with them.

The average netbook will have a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1024 x 600 pixel display and 160 or 250GB HDDs. The LGX140 has a 1366 x 768 pixel display, a 320GB hard drive and a 1.83GHz Intel Atom N475 processor. Looks really tempting on paper, but the choice is taken away from US consumers as LG will be launching the netbook in Asia and the Middle East, but not in the US. Or Europe for that matter. Whether they will never introduce it, then there lies the question. Price is said to be about $500.

Here are the technical specs of the LG X140:

• Intel Atom N475 1.83GHz processor
• 10.1″h (1,366 x 768) display
• Integrated graphics
• 1GB RAM
• 320GB HDD
• Multitouch trackpad, 802.11n and Bluetooth
• 6-cell battery (up to 9 hours)
• Windows 7 Starter

The LG X140 comes in white, pink and black.

LG has announced a World Cup Edition of their 10.1″ LG X140 netbook. It has the LG logo as well as a cool lid picture, and comes in black, white and hot pink so that the football-… er, soccer-fan ladies don’t feel put out.

It has pretty standard specs inside though:

• 10.1” 1024 x 600 or 1366 x 768 display
• Atom N450 / N470 processor
• 1 / 2GB RAM
• 250 / 320GB HDD
• 6-cell or 9-cell battery (up to 12 hours of battery life)
• WiFi, 3G
• Windows 7 Starter

Still, it looks pretty cool, considering that the World Cup is kicking off this month. Besides, guys should be able to have options when it comes to designer netbooks aside from the pricey, car-themed ones, don’t you think?

We first wrote about the LG X140 a few moths ago, but only recently did LG put up a press release announcing the launch of their netbook.

The X140 will make its appearance in the following countries: Brazil, Chile, Dubai, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong among others, but a listing for the US and UK are noticeably absent.

Technical specs are as follows:

• 10.1″ display
• 1.83/1.66GHz Intel Atom processor
• 1GB/2GB memory
• 250GB/320GB HDD
• 1.3MP webcam
• WiFi and integrated 3G modem
• Windows 7 Starter

It also comes with Smart On 2.0, a quick boot environment that allows you to access email, the web and other apps in 5 secs, and the LG Smart POP which allows file transfers, dial and message functions, contacts and Outlook functions which allows easy managing of files and folders between the netbook and LG phones right on the netbook’s screen.

From Corning:

Corning Gorilla glass is an environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate thin sheet glass designed specifically to function as a protective window for portable display devices. What really sets Gorilla glass apart from the competition is that it’s both strong and damage resistant.

Okay, two words that had me do a double-take when I read them: “Corning” and “Gorilla”. I thought Corning made… well, plates. Apparently, I don’t know Corning that well. A quick visit to their site showed that they pretty much make anything from glass kitchenware to glass windows for space shuttles.

Now, “Gorilla” is not the big, hairy primate, but “Gorilla Glass”, a thin, lightweight, damage-resistant glass used in cellphones, tablets, laptops and netbooks.

The LG X300 comes with a 2.0GHz Intel Atom Z550 processor (Menlow), with 2GB memory and 128GB SSD, Windows 7 Home Premium and a spare 2-cell battery for up to 7 hours of battery life on a single charge. It is set to launch in Asia this month, and while prices will, of course, vary from country-to-country, initial price in Korea is the equivalent of more than a thousand USD.

Is that because of the Gorilla Glass then? We’ll see.
