LG isn’t very aggressive in the laptop market but their new netbook is an interesting one. The LG X110 is one of the best looking netbooks around and one which is very comparable to the Lenovo IdeaPad and the BenQ Joybook. One notable aspect of this netbook is a neat array of LEDs lining its bottom, and a glowing blue power button. The entire look of the LG X110 makes it almost a Mac-like laptop when opened. The white is bound to get dirty over time, though. The touchpad is good and has a single piece button with two mouse buttons. The design and feel of the touchpad is great and is effortless to use. A hotkey can be used to disable the touchpad if you choose to use an external mouse instead; a welcome touch.
Its speakers are one of the weaker points of the LG X110. They are very loud but they have a very shrill treble output and don’t make for good music listening. Another kink in the LG is that the netbook has a front
end where you normally rest your palm that sticks up from the surface you place it on. Typing becomes a little uncomfortable this way. Some other  manufacturers have chosen to bevel that edge so you can rest your palm. A feature not seen on competing netbooks is the 3G modem built in as an option. A sim card can be inserted into the netbook which allows you to access the Internet. This could be a very useful feature when 3G services finally arrive in India.
The keyboard feels well built with nice, firm keys. The netbook has plenty of wide open vents at its bottom such that there is almost no heat given out off the top of the netbook. Having said that, the area underneath does
get a little hot. All in all, excluding the audio quality and low battery life, the X110 is a pretty decent netbook that rivals the BenQ Joybook for looks.
