LG adds two new notebooks to its Aurora series

LG Electronics (LG) has added to its Aurora series of laptops with two more notebooks - LG S430 and LG S530. The notebooks possess a sleek design with a brightly coloured exterior. LG has used an innovative coating technology, NCVM (Non-Conductive Vapor Metallization) that gives its notebooks a colorful metallic veneer. The process is also expected to improve protection against scratches and provide more strength to the notebook.
