We got to give it to LG for bringing their new netbook, the LG-X120 at the ongoing Mobile World Congress.  Whereas everybody else is launching new mobile phones, LG demoed its netbook instead.  But we certainly understand the logic for this.

LG wants to market the X120 netbook as part of the mobile world, plain and simple.  And what better time to show off a device being marketed as a mobile device but during an event where mobile phones take center stage.  So, if our previous hands-on report about the LG-X120 left you longing for more information about this new netbook, let’s dig deeper into LG’s announcement and see what more new things we could get from it.

So, what are we looking at here? A 1.3 megapixel webcam, 10-inch LED backlit display, 1.3kgs weight, 160GB HDD, SRS WOW HD and TruSurround XT for sound playback, Smart-Link technology and USB cable connectivity, MP3 player, Photo Viewer and a slew of mobile Internet programs.  Those are pretty standard netbook features.

Of course, we also have to mention one key feature of the LG-X120 which is probably the reason why LG brought this netbook to the WMC in Barcelona—the 3G HSPA connectivity features.  Also worth mentioning is its fast loading Smart-On interface that loads up the netbook’s applications menu in five seconds.  Design-wise, the LG-X120 sport a soft textured, white finish with fingerprint and scratch resistant matte surface.

LG also said that the X120 has an improved battery life of 3.5 hours for the 3-cell battery and 7 hours for a model with 6-cell battery.  If those usage time entice you enough to get the X120 netbook, you have to wait up until March when LG releases the X120 in Europe.

Sorry folks, LG has not divulged the pricing details of the X120 netbook yet.
