LG’s Superhot P300 Notebook on Sale Tomorrow!

13 03 2008

Probably the hottest ulta slim notebook on the market right now is the LG P300. It has specs and build quality that match or exceed the MacBook Air and ThinkPad X300 for much less money. It is a good deal at $1899.99.

Here is NBR’s review.

The LG P300 Express Dual Series notebook is a super light, high performance 13.3″ notebook. This notebook packs a massive punch with its T8300 Penryn processor, NVIDIA 8600m GS graphics card, and high-gloss 13.3″ LCD in a package that weighs roughly 3.6 pounds.

Starting tomorrow, Future Shop is offering this notebook at $1699.99. That is absurd value for a such a great package. Expect it to sell out fast.

LG’s S1 Supermodel gets a brain transplant

Back in August we were lucky enough to have an S1 (S1-M001A9 to be exact) notebook sent to us by LG. I was instantly enamoured by its striking good looks and solid feeling build quality. Excellent performance did not hurt its appeal factor either. Read the rest of this entry »

Sexy Beast: Taking the Wraps Off of LG’s Stunning S1

Even though the price of basic computing continues to fall, and a nice notebook can be purchased for historically low prices this year, there is still an active and competitive high end. Notebooks like the Acer TravelMate 8204, Ferrari 4000 and 5000 series, MacBook Pro, ThinkPad T60 and some fine examples from companies looking to add some sex appeal to their lineups. I think the LG is an example of the latter. Read the rest of this entry »





Review: LG LM70

9 06 2005

Korean technology companies are going to take over the world. I have felt this way since the 2002 Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas, where Samsung and LG showed up with some of the nicest products I have ever seen. Both companies went from being bargain brands to be best in class in about a decade - amazing.
