Ultra-slim LG X300 now available in some parts of the world

Remember the slim Sony Vaio X. And also the X300 showcased by LG at CES in January? Well, good news, the LG will have this ultra-slim and ultra-light netbook available in some parts of the world by the end of the month.

With a body that only measures 0.7 inches (17.5mm) in thickness, there’s no doubt the LG X300 is thin. And it also only weighs around 2.1 lbs. What’s amazing is that the producers managed to squeeze quite some potent hardware inside:

• a 2.0 GHz Z550 processor
• 2 GB of RAM
• up to 128 GB SSD storage
• 11.6 inch display (1366 x 768 px)
• Wi-Fi N and 3G
• Windows 7 OS
• 2 x 2Cell batteries (up to 7 hours of life)

However, as this device is built on the low powered Menlow platform, don’t expect amazing performances. Thus, this mini laptop is closer to the Vaio X than the most powerful Macbook Air or Dell Adamo XPS.

LG X300 - thin and compact, but expensive

As I said earlier, this gadget will be available from later this month on the Asian, Middle Eastern and South American markets. In Korea, prices are expected to be around $1400. But expect the LG X300 to be a lot cheaper when it will reach the US, probably around the 1000 bucks margin.

All in one, the LG X300 is an amazing device, with an incredible form factor and good performances. However, its target is somehow limited; this gadget is just not meant for us, regular mortals.
