LG X-note z330looks to have toned up and now sits on the Ultrabook table. A mere 14.7mm (0.58-inches) in thickness, weighing in at 1.21kg (2.67 pounds) The X-note sports a solid state drive to help it boot up in under ten seconds.

Ultrabook or Ultraprice?

What’s not so Ultrabookish, however, is the price: most netbooks average under $500 USD the Z330 has been announced in Korea starting at ₩1,700,000 ($1,500) for the Core i5 variant with 4GB RAM, a 120GB SSD and a fairly usual range of connectivity, including HDMI, USB 3.0 and Intel WiDi for streaming content wirelessly from your ultrabook to your HDTV. Opting for a Core i7 and a 256GB SSD will add a hefty ₩900,000 ($800) on top of that. Like the hardware? Might as well get a Macbook air.

I suppose the difference in price is hand in hand with the difference between the words “Netbook” and Ultrabook“  but that price-tag has the accountants at DevicePlanet reaching for the Pepto-Bismol.
