The 10.1-inch widescreen display has a 1024x600 resolution. The keybaord is a new larger model that is 93 percent of the size of a full-sized keyboard. Also, the 6-cell-batteries were designed to prop the netbook up slightly for a more convenient typing experience.

The LT21 also features a multi-gesture touchpad, 1GB of memory and either 160GB or 250GB of hard drive space. If connectivity is your concern then you'll be happy to know the LT21 has three USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet and VGA as well as a multi-in-one digital card reader.
