NEW DELHI -- LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. (LGEIL) recently launched its Centrino range of notebook PCs with world's longest battery life, in the Indian market. The models launched include the LM40, LM50, LS50 and LS40. This offering is the newest addition to LG's wide range of products in the IT segment.

The notebook series comes with LG's proprietary 'battery maximizing technology' that allows the notebook up to 10 hours of battery life from a single charge cycle. With a 200 nit LCD that is 33 percent brighter and a viewing angle that is wider than conventional notebooks, the series provides higher quality pictures from any angle without any reduction in brightness. The system is equipped with an integrated Intel Pentium M processor, the latest Intel 855 PM/GM chipset and an Intel Pro/Wireless LAN card. Other features include wireless access capability with Quad Band, DVD combo drive, one click for all network settings, silent cooling mechanism and a cool and stylish design.

Moreover, the LM series include some additional features like My Personality, style indicators -- devices that renders the wireless networking function visually; SD card slot and home theater features like SPDIF, S-video out port, IEEE 1394, etc.

Anil Arora, head marketing, LGEIL, said: "It has always been LG's endeavor to offer its esteemed customers the best products with good value for money. The notebook PCs would fully address this need and go a long way in establishing LG as the one-stop-shop for all PC and peripheral needs. We look forward to similar launches in the IT space, thereby making LG a hub for total IT experience."

R. Manikandan, deputy general manager, product group head -- IT products, LGEIL, added: "The Centrino series addresses one of the most serious issues of notebook users -- that of battery life. With an average battery life of two to three hours, notebook users have always felt constrained in terms of mobility. LG notebook PCs, with world's longest battery life and wireless networking freedom, would go a long way in unleashing the full potential of the notebook and adding to the true mobility experience."
