CES: 2nd Laptop with SideShow Spotted -- LG's Z1

Posted by admin on 01-08-2007 in

So far this is the 2nd laptop with built-in Vista SideShow technology: The LG Electronics Z1 Notebook. It looks like the Z1 is running NVIDIA's "Preface" Sideshow hardware technology. For those familiar with the deal, NVIDIA bought Portal Player last year for the modest sum 375 million USD.  Here are some preliminary specs on the LG's Z1 Laptop... NOTE: The Press Release ommited to specify the SideShow LCD resolution, but I guess it is TFT color QVGA (320x240).

Designed for prosumers and business users alike, the LG Z1 notebook boasts an array of power features including:
    * In-lid secondary display based on the NVIDIA Preface media platform
    * Intel Core 2 Duo processor, T7200 (2.0GHz, 667MHz, 4MB L2 Cache)
    * 12.1-inch wide XGA (1280 x 800) display
    * 1GB DDR2 memory
