Weighing a manageable 6.21-pounds, the S1 is a multimedia notebook designed for both work and play. Boasting an Intel Core Duo T2500 (2.0-GHz) CPU, 2GB of DDR2-667 memory, ATI Mobility X1600 graphics card, Super Multi dual layer drive, and a 100GB HDD. Its 15.4-inch WSXGA display with Fine Bright technology is also a nice feature. Here’s the bottom line:
This is a premium notebook, no question about it. I think it easily justifies its cost especially when stacked up against two of its closest competitors: Acer’s TravelMate 8205 WLMi and the MacBook Pro. LG has made an almost perfect notebook in the S1. It is well constructed, offers terrific performance and looks extremely stylish.
