LG launches into the notebooks market
Longest battery life and Intel wi-fi processor make the LG notebooks the most portable on the market
LG Electronics has entered the notebook market, with a range of powerful, lightweight wireless notebook computers with an impressive battery life that will put LG in the position to become a key player in the Australian notebooks market.
The LG Notebook range comprises the LS50-1, LM50-2 and LM50-3 models. A slimline and lightweight design, battery life of up to ten hours and Intel Centrino technology make this one of the most portable notebook ranges available.
Recognising the growth of the global notebook market, LG has extended its range of IT products to include notebooks. Despite this being a highly competitive sector, LG believes that the extended battery life of its notebooks will differentiate it against the competition.According to LG Australia's marketing manager, Mr Paul Reeves, LG's move into notebooks is a key strategy in achieving the business goals it has set itself.
"As an innovative and progressive company, LG has successfully launched into a number of IT and consumer electronics markets and grown to become a major player. Our notebooks offer an impressive range of features at affordable prices.This is a natural progression for us following the success of our LCD monitors, CRT monitors and optical storage drives".
The new notebook range boasts the Longest Battery Life by using LG's Power Management Technology, the LG notebook achieves up to an amazing 10 hours per charge cycle. This is accomplished in thanks in no small part to the Thinnest & Lightest Platform with New Technology such as new composite materials incorporating LG's state of the art thermal dynamic solution, minimising heat dissipation thus reducing excess power consumption maximising the full potential from the notebooks battery.
The notebook uses Intel Pentium M processors, with wireless access via Intel 802.11b Wireless Network Interface. The notebooks run Microsoft Windows XP operating system and come with full version Norton Anti-Virus 2004 as standard.
