    LG never failed on build quality before. Besides, Korean and Japanese government forbids their companies to sell low quality product to other countries because it ruins their country's reputation. =P (Just for the side note)

    Dreamz,

    Everything is good in that laptop.
    T 5450 intel is a very good processor for any use...It is certainly to powerful for business usage!!! In fact you could even go to a lower powered processor like the T 2000 serie and it would still "sport" any business applications.

    As for the RS600me chipset...well its very good and one of the main advantage of it is that you get a HDMI out so you can plug it to a HD LCD or Plasma TV...not that much use for business except if you make some kind of presentation on a HD TV...

    Lg product are very good indeed, I use an 4 year old LG Ls50 centrino and everything is working perfect. Most impressive is the battery that still last 3 hours...Well I guess it because its a LG-IBM battery...LG use to make IBM laptop before and you can bet they have learn (copy) a thing or two.

    if you can follow the link, and browse inside the site you will find very interesting pictures of inside the computer...it's well built.

    The model is a R500 which is a bigger top line version of the E300

    FWIW... I just received the E300... after spending a couple hours with it, I like it...
    the biggest thing to get used to is the keyboard... it's designed for engligh & french useage, and is slighthly different than what I am used to
    other than that, it's pretty much everything I excepted a 13" laptop to be

    Hi, i'm interested on buying a 13.3'' notebook and this looks like a good bet. However i would like to know if it is a quiet or noisy notebook. Also, does anyone know if it supports turbo memory.

    Tks in advance ppl.

    thank you for your help. i love this laptop. :)

    yeah, the keyboard is a little strange at first, but it doesn't take long to get used to it.

    it's very quiet. i can't even hear it!

    Just got my e300. Everything looks great, but i'm not sure about the hardrive.
    It idles around 50ºC. For now it isn't a problem (about 25ºC ambient temperature) but in the summer temperature rises up to 40ºC.

    Can this be a problem with the hardrive or is it normal with this model?

    ps: mine has a FUJITSU MHY2160BH and i used everest to read the temperature
