LG announces T280 laptop, X140, X200 netbooks

The road to CeBIT is certainly getting crowded. LG has just announced a new laptop and a pair of netbooks that will be put on display at the tech trade show in Germany next week.

First up is the T280 notebook computer, an ultralight and suave-looking piece of machinery (pictured above). The price will fall somewhere between $990 to $1,094, probably based on configurable options. Some of the T280's specs include:

• Windows 7 Home Premium
• 11.6-inch display (1366 x 768 resolution)
• Either Intel 1.3GHz Pentium dual-core or Core 2 Duo processor
• Intel GMA 4500MHD chipset
• Either 320GB or 500GB hard drive
• 2GB of RAM
• 802.11b/g/n Wi-FI
• Six-cell battery

LG is also introducing a pair of new netbooks, the X140 and X200, both of which will have Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processors. At first glance, they look fairly similar, but there are some noticeable internal differences.
