LG Z2200 Notebook

After the Asus W5fe (reviewed Nov '07), LG Z2200 is the next to come with an

auxiliary display on the top of the lid. The concept of these auxiliary displays

evolved owing to the Vista Sideshow support within Vista. Unlike Asus, LG Z2200

has a much better design for the auxiliary display which blends well with the

lid design, rather than just being an additional attachment on the top. The

secondary display enables you to play and browse through your music collection,

watch slideshow, check mails, on the go without the need to switch on the

notebook. This is the first notebook in our hit list to come with an inbuilt ATI

Radeon HD 2400 graphics card.

Performance wise it is better than Asus W5fe, thanks to better RAM and

graphics processor. In PCMark it scored 2522 which is very good for a business

class notebook, but was less than that of Asus W5fe. In 3DMark it scored 1087

which is very good for a notebook GPU and much higher than that of Asus W5fe.

Also, you can enjoy all DirectX 10 games on ATI Radeon HD 2400. We played

'Company of Heroes' on it; though the performance was not outstanding, it still

managed a decent fps. Battery life of 3.15 hr is good for frequent travelers.

Bottomline: Overall a viable companion for all business executives, who

believe in carrying style with difference
