LG's sub 3-pound notebook packs in EVDO and a GeForce Go 7300 GPU

If you disregard the bikini-clad models for a moment, you would see that LG Electronics is showing a new 12.1" ultra-portable notebook for consumers. All we know at this time is that the LW25-EV comes equipped with a Core Duo T2400 processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, a GeForce Go 7300 graphics processor, 3G EVDO connectivity and a DMB TV tuner. This is all packed into a device that weighs a feathery 2.4 pounds.

There is no word on pricing or availability, but stay tuned for more details. Hopefully, we’ll see this notebook stateside, minus the DMB TV tuner of course. LG is not new to ultraportables.  Earlier this year the company announced the T1 Express notebook which measures up to only 0.83" thick. 

Of course, considering today is the "official" announcement for Core 2 Duo, it seems a tad odd that LG is announcing an older Core Duo model.

Aerial!?

That aerial sticking out of the laptop is both naff and possibly dangerous. Why isn't this incorporated into the lid? Clearly an "add-on" afterthought.

I'm sure that's a marketing prop, and is not part of the actual design.

We can't have enough competition in the area of ultraportables - so few of them that are actually useable and not toys (such as 10" ones with small keyboards). I have Toshiba R100 - only 1.8 pounds - which I'll be looking to replace next year and I was wondering what I'll be able to get. I am hoping Apple will release an ultraportable before then.

Once you have an ultraportable, you'll be surprised how many more places to use a computer you'll find. And how often you'll carry it with you.

please do NOT disregard the bikini-clad model.

Wow, check out the screen on that! Perhaps I could put more RAM in it?

:D
