Quick Clicks: Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Notebook
Lenovo is nearing the formal launch of its ThinkPad X300 notebook, an ultra-slim device with full ThinkPad features. CMP Channel Test Center examined and tested the device, which could price for as much as $3,000 when it finally ships, and found it to raise the bar for business mobility.
The device is slim - between .73 inches and .92 inches from stem to stern and weighs less than 3 pounds. It's light enough to hold comfortably with just your fingers, or carry around all day long without feeling like you need a chiropractor.
Unlike the rival MacBook Air, the Lenovo X300 is built with a fully functioning, in-board DVD burner. In fact, it is built with just about all of the functions one would expect from a ThinkPad.
Speaking of ThinkPads, here is how the X300 (left) looks next to a ThinkPad T42 (right.) Yet, no major features were lost in shrinking the ThinkPad down by about 20 percent or so.
