This week, at the GSMA Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, LG Electronics announced the launch of its new Netbook--a successor to the LG-X110 Netbook released last year. Offering an integrated 3G HSPA connection and a 160GB hard drive, the LG-X120 sounds like a worthy contender in the Netbook market.

Included in the X120 is what LG refers to as a Smart-On interface, which basically allows the user to access the most frequently used programs just a few seconds after hitting the power button, without having to wait for the OS to completely load on the desktop.

The LG-X120 also incorporates the company's Smart-Link technology--which can connect to other computers to share files or install new applications via a USB cable--and an advanced security function allowing users to safely share files while connected to other devices.

The Netbook comes in white with either a lime or pink outer detail. The cover has a matte surface so it does not s attract fingerprints, smudges or scratches. It's available with either a three- or six-cell battery and measures at 1.3-inches tall x 10.4 inches wide x 7 inches deep (33 x 264 x 177mm).

The rest of specs include:

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz Processor

1.3-megapixel Webcam

1GB DDR2 RAM

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Three USB ports

10.1-inch WSVGA screen at a 1024x576 resolution

SRS WOW HD and TruSurround XT for sound

The LG-X120 Netbook will purportedly see a March release in Europe, and is expected to make its way to Singapore in the second quarter of this year. We do not have information yet on its availability in other parts of Asia and how much it would cost.
