LG X120 Levi’s Edition

LG X120 Levi’s Edition

While some people are working on Netbook, which fold up and fit in your pocket, the LG X120 Levi’s Edition is not one of them. Rather, this computer is basically a standard LG X120 Netbook with two things that set it apart from the crowd:

  • It has Levi’s branding and the drawing of a jeans on the lid.
  • It comes with a denim-slip-cover, either from recycled jeans, or to see how it is made from recycled jeans.

I like the idea of the slip, and kind of hope that Levi’s, LG, or someone else decides to sell similar cases as a separate product. It would be especially cool if it actually is made of sturdy, but recycled blue jeans material (assuming that someone has the time to wash, said jeans, eliminating any odors from previous occupants).

But as for the Netbook itself? The only reason why I am for about one Netbook with an ad for a Clothing Company is emblazoned on the top is when the clothing company subsidized the cost of the Netbook. And while I have not seen any word on pricing, somehow I doubt that the Levi’s Edition is for sale less than the standard LG X120.

His version of the Acer Aspire One, Dell Inspiron Mini 10, and Lenovo IdeaPad S10 is all built-in 3G modems for online use across areas such as free access to AT & T’s Wi-Fi hotspots. The three have similar 10-inch display, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive, Windows XP, and multi-touch trackpad.

Each system will be subsidized at $ 200 when paired with a two-year data, including either the $ 40 basic plan with 200 MB of data per month or $ 60 5GB plan. If they ship has not been reduced and should be within the “next few days.”
