LG X120 3G Netbook Review

(LG X120 3G Netbook” provided by LG to be able to experience the product. Opinion & Review remains that of Booredatwork)

The LG X120 3G Netbook is a very slick device, at 10. 1 inches the Netbook comes with  3USB ports, 1.3 Megapixel Webcam, VGA out, SD card slot, s-link port and a 3G card slot with AT&T in the battery bay, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in. The LG X120, also pack a  battery life of up to 7 hours on a full charge. The LG Smart On Menu is also very nice addition that makes the uses of this Netbook even greater.

Hardware Design

The LG X-120 is well designed and slick device, smooth surface with a keyboard that does work with large hands( yes I can use this Netbook effectively). The ports are well placed for easy access; the feels like a mini laptop than a Netbook. Which is a good thing in my book. Its light wait with the 6 cell battery and very very portable. The 10.1 Led looks gorgeous.

Video Review

Smart ON

I really like this feature, I wish all laptops & Netbooks had this feature built-in. Power on the Netbook in 6 seconds and you off browsing, chatting, viewing pictures, listening to music and playing games on your Netbook.

3G Software (AT&T Communications Manger)

When using 3G on the devices, the At7T communications manager does you wireless selection between 3G and WiFi selections.. It also displays signal strengthen and different wireless connection points via wifi.  The software also allows you to send text messages from the LG x120 Netbook to other cellphones. Which is a very neat added feature.

In all the LG x120 is a very solid Netbook and a good entry by LG, the design is simple and sick, after a week of solid testing and use. I found the Netbook to be very useable and the portability was a plus. Battery life from the 6 cell battery at 7 plus hours was a delight. Knowing I didn’t have to be by a power outlet each time I used the LG X120. The LG X120 retail at MSRP of $400, with  its 3G functionality and 7 hr battery life. I say its well worth the price.
