LG Electronics has
unveiled the world's first terrestrial digital multimedia broadcast receiving mobile (DMB) television-enabled notebook computers. This technology will allow users to watch
High-Definition mobile digital broadcasts via laptop PCs anywhere, anytime. The notebook uses
Intel Centrino processors. The model features a 14-inch wide LCD screen with a WXGA resolution of 1280x768 and a contrast ratio of 15:9, perfect for watching DVD titles and films.

The notebook also does an intelligent update where it automatically upgrades software to improve user convenience.
There are, currently, three versions of the DMB enabled notebook PC with different form factors. The premium notebook PC (model: LW40-P1LK) features a Pentium M 1.6GHz CPU, 512MB Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) memory, and large capacity hard disk drive at 80GB. This model also utilises the high performance graphic chip (ATI Mobility Radeon X600) to enhance entertainment functions such as 3D games and videos.
This opens up a world of possibilities. The technology is fast moving towards an integration of the television world, the computing world, and the mobile phone world. Soon we will need only one device that will offer us all of them, and would be cheap, portable, energy-efficient, and light-weight:):):).
