Looks pretty sweet!

I wonder how sturdy it will be?

A question on the 2 batteries it ships with though. Is it that each 2 cell battery will provide 7 hours or both 2 cell batteries will provide 7 hours total together?

I didn't know LG was still making laptops.

Backlit keyboard = awesome

It should be in every laptop.

I am pretty sure it's 7 hours for the combined 4-cell. Specs-wise this looks exactly like a Sony VAIO X clone and that's what Sony VAIO X gets. I would not be surprised if the two 2-cell batteries flanked the touch pad in X300 as well.

The only interesting/differentiating part, other than the white color and LG logo, is the fanless design. Sony customers were not pleased with the fanless P, which also uses 2.0GHz Atom Z550, so they ended up putting a fan in the X. I would be really interested to see how LG X300 performs in thermal management, with its chasis being only 0.1"-0.2" thicker than Sony X.

I guess Lenovo didn't get a proper trademark on the x300.

Looks like a decent laptop overall, but I wonder on the price and US availability.

I have a feeling this is going to be far more expensive than the average netbook

[SoundsGood]

Any idea if this will be sold in the U.S. ?

Bezel-less screen, back-lit keyboard, 0.7-inch thickness, 128GB SSD... but it's a damn netbook! Who would pay that much for an atom processor?
