LG launch new X170 netbook post-CES 2011

LG took the opportunity to show off their tiny new X170 netbook at CES.

The miniature device will feature the Atom N455 processor and a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display as standard, but it is the optional extras that make this little guy exciting.

A dual core 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 chip is available to those in search of a bit more muscle than that offered by the single core N455, along with a sharper 1366 x 769 pixel HD display.

Previous reports on this device – currently available only in the Far East – have spoken of its ability to sync with LG smartphones, using the new SmartPOP feature. This allows users to sync files and emails, as well SMS and view contacts via SmartPOP’s phone display on the desktop.

LG have yet to announce which phones will be compatible with this feature.

Other specifications include, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics, standing the device in good stead ahead of its challenge on the brutally competitive netbook market. Hopefully the bright pink design, as flaunted at CES, is not a standard feature.
