LG is offering a little more information about its upcoming X110 netbook. The company has posted a product page on the UAE version of the LG web site. I poked around and couldn’t find a product page on the US, UK, French, or German LG web sites. I have no idea what that means for product availability.
But I did gather enough information to update the X110’s entry in the Liliputing Product Database. For one thing, it looks like Bluetooth will be available as an option. The netbook will also come with either 512MB or 1GB of RAM, and hard drive capacities ranging from 80GB to 160GB.
As expected, the LG X110 will also support 3G wireless connections thanks to a dual quad-band antenna.
And we have some dimensions to share as well. The netbook will be about 262 x 180 x 31mm or 10.2″ x 7.1″ x 1.2″ and will weigh 1.19kg or about 2.6 pounds with a standard 3-cell battery. A 6 cell battery will also be available as an option.

Here’s a link to the product page on the LG Scandinavian site, there’s a pdf product sheet that you can download from there.

The LG X110 is already up on some resellers site in sweden, price for the model with integrated 3G is set to 3995 SEK.

Wow, I wish all the brands would provide spec sheets like that. Looks like the Scandinavian model comes with Win XP and the UAE version, with Vista. It’s nice to see another netbook with the “correct” arrow key configuration, along with the Samsung.
If I calculated right it’s about 4 oz. heavier than the Lenovo S10 and about 5-9 oz. lighter than the various 10-inch Asuses. Also, as I’m sure you all know, 3995 SEK is US $586.88 🙂
Nice looking, but the black model is glossy and has a white keyboard 🙁
I can’t get google to translate the page, but it looks like the HSUPA models cost an extra 1000 kronors, now = US $144, for a total of $720.
Also, I noticed that the 3995 SEK models have dropped $11 in US currency overnight! I thought it would have gone up because of our current economic debacle. But, thinking about it, it makes sense… apparently the Scandinavian stock and currency traders are swifter on the uptake and are already responding to what’s going on here, while most of us in the US are still in denial.
In any case, if you watch the currency exchange rates carefully and strike quickly, now might be a good time for North Americans to make international purchases.
I’ve read that it’s MSI who produces most of the LG laptop range. Is that true?
First I had my mind set on the Wind, then came the S10 and now the x110… it’s damn hard to decide what to get…
Apparently so about MSI making the LG x110:

I’m having the same difficulty deciding, but since I’m in wait mode, I think I’ll wait another month or two and see what else happens. I’m also hoping some other broadband options emerge in the US from the mobile providers, though I would much rather pick my own netbook than adopt whichever one is supplied by some provider.
Sorry, the above link wasn’t as informative as I thought at first glance. The following link (which you may have already seen) has a bit more info, but I haven’t seen anything about other LG models:
