| LG S1 Review |
You can tell right off the bat that the LG S1 is a premium notebook the box is lovely. Rather than deliver your hot new notebook in a plain cardboard box, LG sheaths the S1 in a sharp looking glossy black box with matte accents. Pretty rich looking packaging.I have handled an insane number of notebooks and I have never laid hands on any as nice as the S1. The lid is a deep black/blue metallic color that looks fantastic -- on par with any finish you can get from a boutique PC builder. They call this piano black, but I have not seen a finish this good on any piano.
Open the magnetic lid and you are presented with a glorious shiny white acrylic base. It looks like a giant slab of ivory. This is easily one of the best looking laptops that I have ever seen -- even as I am typing this article my wife is commenting on how pretty the S1 is. The white base is made of a material that is much nicer than the Apple iBooks that I have owned.
Trying to capture the S1's looks is futile; pictures do not do it justice. LG entrusted the S1 design to a top-grade design studio in Tokyo called Geo Design Inc. LG won the 2006 Red Dot design award for the S1 and it is no surprise. Looking at previous winners of the award reveals some real gems: Apple's iPod, iBook, Nokia 8800 and several Sony Vaios.
Handling the S1, it feels solid and flex-free. LG seems to have used a variety of high grade materials in the construction of the S1. I did not detect any cheap plastic -- even the memory panel door was magnesium or aluminum.
The S1 looks like it is worth ever penny of its premium price (approximately $2,200.00 USD for the highest configuration). But how does it perform? LG S1 Review Linked by LT Hacker
