LG's Windows 7 powered X-Note T380 ultra-thin

These days, it seems, there is a frantic race for amongst computer manufacturers to claim the title of “the thinnest notebook on this planet”. Well, who doesn’t want his/her notebook to get noticed especially when the buzz word going around the market is ‘Thin is In.’

So it seems every other laptop before being launched now-a-days hits the gym to shed out extra flab and inches on it before hitting the market and frankly speaking the laptops too look a real beauty after getting in shape.

So, to promote the concept of thinner is better comes another laptop from the LG stable- the all new LG X-Note T380. It seems as if LG was just waiting for the right moment and that moment was yesterday when Microsoft officially launched the Windows 7 operating system. The specifications of this new notebook model are as follows:

• Screen size: 13.3 inches with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels
• Screen type: LCD

The battery life of this model sure looks tempting but I am wondering if the price tag of US $1260 will be a bit of a dampener.
