LG debuts 13.3-inch XNOTE P310 premium laptop

LG may not have strayed to far from the outward appearance of the XNOTE P300 with its new P310 model, but it looks to have given the "premium" laptop a decent enough upgrade under the hood, with it now finally getting bumped up to the Centrino 2 platform. That upgrade also includes a speedier 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo T9400 processor, 3GB of DDR3 memory, 2GB of Intel Turbo Memory a 320GB hard drive, and some decent enough NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics, not to mention the same LED-backlit 13.3-inch display as before. No word on a price just yet, but we're guessing it won't be too far off the €1,599 (or just over $2,000) its predecessor demanded.

Obligatory hot Asian chick comment.

[Samboini @ Nov 5th 2008 4:22PM]

Patrick, no pun intended eh?

[[e-mail] @ Nov 5th 2008 4:14PM]

Wawww, they are very pretty girls!!!!

[wako @ Nov 5th 2008 4:05PM]

are the pretty ladies sold seperately?

[Matthew Hilario @ Nov 5th 2008 4:49PM]

Are the laptops sold seperately?

[blueangel00100 @ Nov 5th 2008 4:05PM]

They don't look like their holding a several pound laptop.

[Atropos @ Nov 5th 2008 4:29PM]

The insides have been gutted to allow the arms of the frail models to support them.

Hahaha... that's true! Asian models sure are thin!

[rock99rock @ Nov 5th 2008 4:05PM]

Ill take the one on the right. Laptop too.

[HOOPER @ Nov 5th 2008 4:17PM]

Didn't see that one coming.

[Samboini @ Nov 5th 2008 4:23PM]

HOOPER, that's what she said.

[DoctorWho @ Nov 5th 2008 4:40PM]

Good, I will gladly take the one on the left. Although the one on the right does look like she would be more of a freak...

[konshuss @ Nov 5th 2008 4:45PM]

Confucius say, laptop model has shield when see you coming

[Phoenix @ Nov 5th 2008 4:47PM]

I have to go with left.

Engadget should put a poll whenever there's multiple hot models asking which one we'd prefer :D

[Lowest Ranked @ Nov 5th 2008 5:01PM]

Both.

[rock99rock @ Nov 5th 2008 5:09PM]

Lowest Ranked wins.

[Ian @ Nov 5th 2008 5:15PM]

I don't know why people want the one on the right. The girl on the left is just better.

Non-asian guys have far different taste in asian girls than asian guys do. It's kind of a good thing, though.

[Knives_Out @ Nov 5th 2008 4:06PM]

yummy.

[Jinx @ Nov 5th 2008 4:09PM]

I got dibs on the one on the right >_< ~moe!!(slang for awesome in Japanese)

[LCDY @ Nov 5th 2008 4:21PM]

Obviously...these chicks are Korean...not Japanese...

[rock99rock @ Nov 5th 2008 4:22PM]

nope i already got her. Please see above.

[gparizot @ Nov 5th 2008 4:25PM]

Try "Yepuda". They're Korean.

[Samboini @ Nov 5th 2008 4:26PM]

Judging by the amount of 'OMG they are teh hottest comments', quite a few of you will be dabbling in each others bodily fluids. Way to share seconds guys.

[Ben @ Nov 5th 2008 4:09PM]

Laptop is cool

but the screen resolution suck a little bit :/

[aardWolf @ Nov 5th 2008 4:26PM]

What, are you gay? :-)

[r3loaded @ Nov 5th 2008 8:40PM]

Lol Ben, it's only after reading your comment did I go back to see what the laptop's specs actually were.

Or did you have trouble loading the images on this page?

[bob sakamano @ Nov 5th 2008 4:10PM]

lenovo puts "turbo memory" on their laptops too... what is it and what are the benefits if any??? i could never find a straight answer on the internets

[Ruben @ Nov 5th 2008 6:00PM]

"The technology attempts to decrease hard drive usage by moving frequently accessed data over to the flash memory. Flash memory reacts faster than hard drives and requires less power, allowing notebooks to be faster and more power efficient.[3][4]

The Robson cache connects via a mini-PCIe card with on-board NAND flash memory modules, supporting new features available in Microsoft Windows Vista, namely ReadyBoost (a hard-drive caching solution via USB flash drives) and ReadyDrive (a hard-drive caching solution via hybrid drives), allowing both read caching and write caching of data. Often this is implemented with a Disk Filtering Option ROM (DFOROM)."

Using the google search "intel turbo memory wikipedia"

[Chris @ Nov 5th 2008 4:16PM]

9600M in a 13 inch? I don't think so.

[Chin-Poh @ Nov 5th 2008 4:28PM]

Its possible, the optical drive is external, so they had enough room to cram the GPU in.

[YpoCaramel @ Nov 5th 2008 4:42PM]

It is true, do your research mate. There's collaboration from LG and various German magazines.

[Chris @ Nov 5th 2008 6:19PM]

If you say so. I don't know how it makes thermal budget though.

[Rekit @ Nov 5th 2008 4:17PM]

Is it just me, or are they hovering hundreds of feet above the ground.

[derX @ Nov 5th 2008 4:22PM]

Yeah, they weren't photographed in front of a window in a tall building. They're floating.

Only logical conclusion.

[derX @ Nov 5th 2008 4:23PM]

Silly me, I'm sorry, they're hovering.

Floating just wouldn't make sense.

[Samboini @ Nov 5th 2008 4:24PM]

Yes, if you disregard the building's floor they are obviously stood on...

[gparizot @ Nov 5th 2008 4:31PM]

LG appears to be trying to save money. The models are obviously in the LG towers on Youido in Seoul. (I used to live about three blocks away, I know the area quite well) That's the Han river and Youido Plaza in the background.

[Lowest Ranked @ Nov 5th 2008 5:05PM]

Freeze the background and roll the credits. The perfect ending to any anime.

[Jose @ Nov 5th 2008 4:19PM]

Ugly logo... Xnote?

[derX @ Nov 5th 2008 4:21PM]

Yeah, but can it play DVDs?

[Chin-Poh @ Nov 5th 2008 4:29PM]

The optical drive is external.
