The minimalist design comes in a glossy piano black finish outside, while the inside is a sharp contrast with its pure white color, complete with full-sized keys.

The LG Z1 PRO Express Dual is a high performance notebook featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, T7200 at 2.0GHz, 12.1-inch widescreen (1280 x 800) display, DVD burner, a built-in microphone, 1GB DDR2 memory, 120GB hard drive, 5-in-1 memory card reader, Bluetooth connectivity, 3 USB ports, and FireWire and S-Video ports.

Z1 Pro incorporates Windows Vista’s SideShow feature. There’s a second small screen on the cover to quickly check up on information like email and stock tickers without booting the computer.

At 1.89kg it’s light enough to be lugged around by the road warriors, whom the Z1 is designed for. That’s not the laptop for competitive LAN-parties.
