LG E200 User Review
Source: Notebookreview.com
The LG E200 is a 12.1” widescreen notebook recently released by LG.  The E200 is marketed as an entry level ultraportable notebook using the less powerful Pentium Dual-Core processor and ATI RS600ME chipset.  As an entry level notebook it retails at most computer stores in Canada for about $1,000 CAD.
The E200 has a simple uniform design, there is a checkering pattern through its black cover (it is also available with a pink cover) and is silver on the inside.  The top has a nice iPod Nano glossy look to it, and unfortunately like the iPod Nano it is prone to scratches.  It has a latchless lid which carefully shuts without too much force. The build is nice and sturdy, but not as solid as a laptop from the ThinkPad series.  The laptop itself is a bit thick for a 12.1” laptop, but this allows for it to take more punishment than a thinner one would.  You can choose whether you want to make it lighter by inserting a plastic travel weight instead of having the DVD drive in -- making it 0.2Kg lighter.

Comment

ATI Radeon Xpress 1250:

Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.

T2330:

12.1": This is the most common display format for subnotebooks and an average size for subnotebooks.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs less power, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

2 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

LG: LG is an international Notebook manufacturer of medium size. Sometimes LG notebooks achieve good positions according the total rating. LG laptaps achieve remarkably good ratings according the performance.

72.33%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
