LG unveils ultra-portable notebook(TradeArabia Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LG Electronics has announced the launch of its flagship ultra-portable 13.3-inch slim and light notebook, LG Widebook T380, in the region. The model will be rolled out across Jordan and other countries in Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America in early 2010, said a company statement. This notebook packs Intel's ultra low voltage (ULV) processor to improve mobility and boost battery life. The longer battery life doesn't come at the expense of speed, though, as the Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 ULV 1.3GHz processor, paired with up to 4GB DDR2 memory, doubles the performance of a netbook fitted with an Atom CPU while consuming 60 per cent less power than a normal CPU. A standard 8-cell battery allows consumers to use it for up to 10.5 hours between charges; enough for a long flight or an entire day of working on the road. The LG T380 is a road warrior's dream, as the slim design measures only 25mm thick and tips the scales at a scant 1.89kg. "An emerging trend in the notebook market is for consumers to look towards products with long-lasting batteries blended with desktop performance," said managing director of LG Electronics Levant, Kevin Cha. "We are intently focusing on enhancing mobility and connectivity while ensuring productivity. In light of this, we believe that the LG T380 is at the forefront of notebook design and engineering, and helps LG cement its position as a leader in the mobile computing industry," he added. The LG T380's 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen LCD boasts a (16:9) aspect ratio running at a native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It offers a smooth, clear display for high-definition (HD) content including movies, games, and video conferences. The LG T380 ships with Microsoft Windows 7, which also offers faster performance than Windows Vista OS. The LG T380 is 3G-ready thanks to an embedded 3G modem chipset to provide convenient and easy access to the internet regardless of location. With 3G features, the user can connect to the internet via GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or HSDPA networks.-TradeArabia News Service (c) 2009 Al Hilal Publishing & Marketing Group Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
