Review: Lenovo ThinkPad X300

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Walt Mossberg gets a chance to check out the Lenovo ThinkPad X300, Lenovo’s latest ultraportable ThinkPad, and their first ultraportable ThinkPad with a widescreen.

The X300 is being touted as a competitor to Apple’s MacBook Air, being that it’s lightweight (2.5 – 3.2 pounds depending on configuration) and with a similar screen (13.3″ LED-backlit LCD).

Unlike the MacBook Air, it has the option for an internal optical drive as well as a removable battery, and it’s powered by Intel’s Core 2 Duo SL7100 Low Voltage (LV) CPU (similar to the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010). It even has a GPS option.

It is pricey, starting well above the MacBook Air’s base configuration, and it’s only going to have Solid State Drive (SSD) options (hence the price).
