One of the design gurus over at LG Electronics must have a vendetta against thick bezels, so in designing LG's new Blade series of laptops, that was the first thing to go. He and his team then built of pair of laptops measuring 14 inches (P430) and 15.6 inches (P530) with a display thickness of just 4.5mm and 4.7mm, respectively, and then made sure that both would weigh less than 5 pounds.
"The Blade series is the fruition of many months of effort by LG engineers and designers to develop portable computers that deliver beyond the performance, looks, and value that today's consumers have come to expect," said J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics PC Business Unit. "Leveraging tomorrow's technology and breakthrough design, LG will continue to offer slim, beautiful notebooks that raise the bar in portable computing."
LG is clearing chasing after style points with its Blade series, noting that the P430, at 1.94kg (less than 4.3 pounds) is lighter than conventional 13-inch notebooks. In addition, both models sport a metallic case that's purportedly more durable than other slim style notebooks. Rounding out the aesthetics is brushed aluminum and diamond cutting.
So how about the actual hardware? LG was a little less forthcoming in that department, saying only that the P430 and P530 can be configured with up to a second generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor and come with Nvidia GeForce GT520M graphics, 1.3HD webcam, and SRS and DLNA technology.
