LG used automotive quality paint on the exterior shell of the notebook, top and bottom, that is incredibly smooth and soft to the touch. The black gloss is contrasted with the bright white frame, keyboard, and screen trim.
Build quality feels great from the moment you place it on a desk surface. The rubbery feet help to stabilize the X110 on uneven surfaces, and prevent it front sliding around with your hands typing away on the keyboard.
The LG X110 includes a 10” LED backlit Hannstar display panel which looks crisp and bright. Some backlight bleed was noticed on the left side of the display on dark screens, but under normal circumstances you couldn’t see it. Colors were clear and vibrant even with the matte texture screen.
Once opened I found out that the only component you can upgrade is the 2.5” hard drive, as the RAM is soldered in place. For a netbook of this size it is almost unheard of to not find a slot to stick in 2GB of memory.
