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.

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

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:49PM]

Are the laptops sold seperately?

[compwhiz Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:05PM]

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

[(Unverified) Posted 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!

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:06PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:09PM]

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

[lcdyen Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:21PM]

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

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

Try "Yepuda". They're Korean.

[Sam of the Sun Posted 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.

[BenjaminPicard Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:09PM]

Laptop is cool

but the screen resolution suck a little bit :/

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

What, are you gay? :-)

[(Unverified) Posted 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?

[bobsakamano Posted 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 Posted 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"

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

[RKN Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:28PM]

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

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

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

[anexanhume Posted Nov 5th 2008 6:19PM]

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

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:17PM]

Didn't see that one coming.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:17PM]

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

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

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

Floating just wouldn't make sense.

[Sam of the Sun Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:24PM]

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

[gparizot Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 5:05PM]

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

[hahajose Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:19PM]

Ugly logo... Xnote?

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

Yeah, but can it play DVDs?

[RKN Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:29PM]

The optical drive is external.

[htd Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:22PM]

still not that good looking after heavy korean plastic surgeries

[bornskilled200 Posted Nov 9th 2008 3:09PM]

Ah that's screwed up, for the both of u.

[Sam of the Sun Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:23PM]

HOOPER, that's what she said.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:26PM]

There's always a catch. This one's will be the price.

+$2,000 could get a neat Xtreme+9800M at Sagernotebook. But at a bigger size and less build quality.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:28PM]

Is it always the same two girls holding their products in Asia?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 5:07PM]

They can hold my products.

[solarpos Posted Nov 5th 2008 5:50PM]

It is for LG. (Not going to go into the they all look alike to you territory.....whoops!)

[YpoCaramel Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:32PM]

9600GT on a 13.3" notebook? Nice job - it could be quite underclocked, though.

[Raul7 Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:29PM]

But can it play hot asian chicks? Or will I get the pleasure of that? :p

[Rena Posted Nov 5th 2008 10:24PM]

Can they play Doom?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2008 4:35PM]

OMG two Jackie Chans are trying to steal the laptops! Stop them!
