a new series of notebook computers that take full advantage of the Windows

Windows SideShow is a new technology that allows the Windows Vista
operating system to drive auxiliary displays providing consumers with
faster and easier to use bite-size bits of information. NVIDIA Preface
allows consumers to link to the programs and data stored on the main
system, even when the notebook is in hibernation mode or turned off. Some
of the many gadgets that can be used on the go without draining battery
life include music playback, photo slideshows, e-mail, calendars, world
clocks, stock quotes, RSS feeds, and more.
"In the consumer electronics market, the line between work and
entertainment devices has become increasingly blurred," said John Milner,
general manager of personal media processors at NVIDIA Corporation. "The LG
Z1 with NVIDIA Preface technology allows consumers to get more from the
notebook experience -- they can be more productive throughout their workday
and enjoy personal media along the way."
"NVIDIA Preface technology and Windows SideShow allow us to offer our
customers a new way to take advantage of the wealth of personal information
in their notebook and on the Web," said Mr. JJ Lee, general manager for the
PC division of LG. "For those looking to enjoy a complete Windows Vista
experience, this notebook is a must-have."
