LG goes crazy small with new A1 and C1 XNotes

If we recall correctly, the last time we attempted a romantic romp with our laptop in a picturesque field of flowers and greenery, we got some killer allergies and ended up tripping over some hidden crap in the grass and busting up our computer -- but we're willing to give it all another go for a chance to hang out with these sexy new A1 and C1 XNote ultraportables from LG. We're unfortunately short on details, but both laptops sport 1.2GHz Core Duo processors, 64MB GeForce 7300 Go graphics, 10.6-inch 1,366 x 768 displays (with some swivel action on the C1), along with WiBro, HSDPA and DMB. The C1 version on the left weighs a mere 2.8 pounds, and does the Tablet PC, swivel screen thing, while the A1 goes for uber-svelte at 2.2 pounds. There's no info on anything crazy like price or availability, but now that these are out in the open, LG better not be keeping their ultralight goodness -- with a yummy, WWAN/DTV center -- away from us for long.

What's with the photoshopped pics?

[Brandon @ Oct 17th 2006 11:59AM]

I hear you. I did that once and it's highly overrated. From now on, it's strictly indoors for me and my laptop.

[Korey @ Oct 17th 2006 12:31PM]

does anyone know of a laptop with the formfactor of the A1, regardless of how technically outdated it is i run linux so it dont matter I just need something ultra-small

The Fujitsu Siemens P1510D is similar, just smaller. I ordered one this week just for the portability

[naz @ Oct 17th 2006 1:11PM]

The Fujitsu P7000 series (i think the P7120D is your best choice, cause of the atheros wireless) is the same size/specs and similar weight.

i'll take the one on the right

[evilman @ Oct 17th 2006 12:48PM]

I'll take the one on the right holding the one on the left.

I'll leave you people of the internet to interpret the meaning of that sentence.

[Korey @ Oct 17th 2006 1:16PM]

Thanks I knew some fellow geeks could help me out.

[Sam Wells @ Oct 17th 2006 1:16PM]

^^except the p7000is core solo not duo and no dedicated graphics, nice try though

[Erik @ Oct 17th 2006 1:34PM]

And yet these are still 1 lbs+ heavier then my 2+ year old Vaio.

[Dan @ Oct 17th 2006 1:55PM]

And yet your VAIO does not have Dual Core.

The weakest link of ultraportables has always been the CPU. Finally, there's an ultraportable that is less than 3 lbs that has a dual core CPU. Sign me up for the 2.2 lb one. Manufacturers, please stop with the fake 4+ lb "ultraportables."

The model on the left is the actress on Lost.

[Ben H @ Oct 17th 2006 1:53PM]

No. Surely Not. Really?

[evo @ Oct 17th 2006 9:02PM]

Um, no, that's not Yoon-jin Kim. You probably don't realize, but she's a major movie star in Korea since Shiri. She's not going to be slumming hawking some crappy laptop for LG.

[MikeTLive @ Oct 17th 2006 2:23PM]

Is that GAMERA in the background?

[Allen Ash @ Oct 17th 2006 5:40PM]

There's laptops in the picture?

[j3oomerang @ Oct 17th 2006 6:50PM]

ill take one with a nand hard drive please

[JCollum @ Oct 18th 2006 12:40PM]

Umm, yeah, guess what, lots of Korean chicks look alike (at least to my round eyes!)

[steve @ Oct 19th 2006 10:26AM]

no, just lots of Korean chicks get plastic surgery and come out looking quite similar to one another

[Information Central @ Feb 7th 2007 7:14AM]

Stupid, stupid glossy screens. That's a deal-killer right there.

[Someone @ Mar 28th 2007 8:15AM]

Just might get me one of those... the laptops look good, too.
The field they are in looks like one on the south-east corner of Seoul. Thousands flock there to wander through the flowers. Can't recall the name of the field, though.
