LG's declared a return to the PC space with two new product families just announced today.
The LG Z360 Ultrabook is a sleek, light, and very white laptop with a 3rd gen Core i5 processor and a focus on the lower end of Intel's ultrabook spec. The LG Tab-Book series is the company's entry into the hybrid and tablet spaces - the H160 Tab-Book is a pure Windows 8 tablet device, while the Z160 model features a keyboard underneath a slide-away touch screen.
LG hosted a closed-door briefing yesterday on the products ahead of this morning's announcem ent, and while we didn't get our hands on the pure tablet, we did get to test-drive engineering samples of the hybrid and ultrabook. The Z360 is a departure from most metallic shell notebooks, and while the design is very clean, the white plastic does look as though it will start to grime up at the drop of a slightly dirty hat, especially on the slightly rougher fascia around the touchpad and keypad.
That said, with 408 of RAM and a Care i5 3337U processor, it's zippy enough on the general computing side of things. It comes standard with a 128GB SSD, WiDi, USB 3 and the rest of the upgraded ultrabook spec, It's also very light and slim, and feels like a great carry-with-you-at-all-times computing device, with a responsive keyboard and a bright 13.3in IPS LCD, running at a resolution of 1920x1080. If the white body doesn't scare you, the Z360 will retail for $1399 and be Harvey Norman in early July.
The Z160 hybrid tablet continues the mighty whitey look, and features a push-button mechanism that slides the touch PS display up and into a comfortable viewing angle, revealing the keyboard beneath. LG assures us that each device has the hinge and locking mechanism tested thousands of times, but it does seem a little on the light side, with the monitor ribbon and other wiring exposed between the display and the keyboard, just behind the hinged stand it all rests on.
That said, it comes with a suitably beefy spec, packing the same RAM and processor as the Z360, with a 120GB SSD. It's very much a device aimed at professionals who need a dedicated keyboard, along with tablet portability. The 2160 will also be available in early July, and will retail for $1499. The H160 Tab book will be out at the same time, for $999.
