MSI has chance to make netbook for LG

By

Korea-based LG Electronics is planning to launch its Atom-based netbook in October this year and since most of the company’s notebooks were manufactured by Micro-Star International (MSI), the netbook is also expected to be manufactured by the Taiwan maker, according to sources.

LG’s first netbook (X110) will feature an 8.9-inch panel, 2GB memory and 120GB hard drive. The netbook will adopt Windows XP, while the company has not yet decided whether to adopt Linux operating system. The price of the netbook will be set around NT$19,000-24,000 (US$625.5-790.11). The sources expect LG’s netbook will also focus on its industry design and material quality instead of price, like the company’s notebook product line, while the netbook will be targeted to markets including Europe and North America.
