Toshiba Japan has decided to release their first netbook for the Japanese market. The NB100 feature an 8.9-inch LCD screen with 1024 x 600 resolution, a 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, WiFi, and will be available in either Ubuntu or Windows XP OS. Available in Cosmic Black, Champagne Gold, and Bright Silver, the price starts at $757, which is more expensive than the price in Europe for approx. €472.

LG revealed the XNOTE P310 Series.  This 13.1-inch laptop is powered by a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 processor, 3GB DDR3 memory, 2GB of Turbo Memory, 320GB HDD and a high-performace nVidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics processor.  Wrapped in a nice aluminum finish, the LCD is LED backlit for maximum brightness and to reduce eye-squinting.  Unfortunately, the announcement didn’t come with price information, but they did come with those pretty, smiling Korean girls.
