http://www.tabletpcreview.com/default.asp?newsID=1127

This ties in with the competitive advantage concepts we have learned in this class. LG is a relatively new laptop maker company. However, they have been around for a long time in the appliances and lcd tv industries. This interview helps to point out some of the notable notebooks coming from LG, what they think their primary market targets are, and some future prospects of their notebooks. Very interesting read, it gives you an idea that you should not rush into the notebook industry but figure out whether the costs and benefits are there in every decision you make. One of the notable decisions they have made is to include powerful GPUs in their smaller laptops and not to include the option of purchasing SSDs because the costs, they think, outweighs the benefits. I like how it covers many aspects of information systems and how LG is utilizing their competitive advantages amongst their bigger competitiors.
