A 120 GB hard drive, a 10-inch widescreen display and its stylish design are meant to set LG’s X110 netbook apart from the competition.

Every company is trying to claim its own little niche in the netbook market. Korean IT-giant LG Electronics’ approach is to create a powerful yet elegant device. To help it stand out from the crowd of cheap miniature notebooks, the X110 netbook will use a design based on gentle curves for a slender appearance and will be available in the colours white, silver and pink.

Unlike many other netbooks such as the ASUS Eee PC 901, the X110 will feature a hard drive when it hits stores in November. Capacities will range up to the 120 GB mark. The widescreen 10-inch WSVGA display with its LED backlight is meant to make scrolling sideways to read an entire page unnecessary. LG also promises that the 82-key keyboard will ensure fatigue free typing even over extended periods.

An optional 3G HSDPA module will also be available for speedy internet access on the road. Additionally, the netbook is equipped with the usual network interfaces such as 802.11 b/g WiFi and 10/100 Ethernet.

LG has not yet announced which processor and operating system the X110 will use. The same goes for battery life and the unit’s weight. LG is similarly secretive where the price is concerned, stating that it won’t comment until the X110 is released at the beginning of November.

LG’s booths can be found in expo hall 11.2 at stand 101.
