Operating with an Intel Atom Z550 processor, the LG X300 ultra thin laptop PC has a 11.6-inch display and 64GB of flash storage. It has a very nice design, and manufacturing quality is quite impressive. Although it runs with an Intel Atom CPU, I doubt it will be cheap. The price to pay for this great design weighing nearly 1kg, is to have just 1GB of memory, which is too little and a 2-cell battery is not sufficient. It is the ultimate laptop PC of meeting, if you have some meetings, while keeping an eye on your emails and calendar.
