The LG X120 is the next in line after the LG X110, and doesn't differ much from it. The laptop has the same 1.6GHz Atom Processor, Windows XP, 10-inch WSVGA screen, 160GB hard drive and 1 GB of RAM. The main difference is one that makes all the difference. The LG X120 comes with a Splashtop-powered "LG Smart On" OS, which allows it to boot up quickly, making it great for popping the laptop on for a quick browse on the web or getting an instant messenging program up and ready to go. This makes the laptop a nice netbook with the capabilities of a desktop.
