LG X110 review

Introducing the LG X10 netbook. It’s not exactly a looker, but then neither was Susan Boyle and we all saw what she did on Bitain’s Got Talent. So, let’s go into this review with an open-mind. It’s alright, we’ll hold your hand…

Pros
While this won’t win any beauty pageants any time soon, it can stand proudly alongside other laptops in the netbook toilets without shying away. Firstly it has a spacious 160GB hard drive for saving all your important docs to. It’s pretty easy to use, and did we mention the ten-inch screen is pretty glossy to look at? No? Well it is. And it’s cheap too, coming in at just over £300.

Cons
You wouldn’t exactly use the phrase “top-end” to describe this laptop. Look at it. It’s got a face like Mickey Rourke (nasty and plasticky). It’s not even got HSDPA built-in! The fact that the battery life is only around three hours as well means you won’t be using this on trips from London to Edinburgh either.

In summary then…
The LG X110 was never going to win any awards with its bland, plasticky styling. Looks aside, this ten-inch netbook is pretty average. Its 160GB hard drive, decent performance and glossy screen are positives to shout about, but aside from those boons the LG X110 is distinctly lacking in discernible features. Add to that the fact that the battery life is shorter than the life of a gastrotich (that’s the animal with the shortest life span in the world in case you were wondering), and you’ve got a pretty average netbook.

Let’s find out Pros The Toshiba NB100 doesn’t have a fanciful design, hell, it doesn’t even have a fanciful name. But that [...]...
