The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Laptop

The latest category in the laptop segment, is the ultraportable laptop. You've already seen one earlier in this blog - namely the Macbook Air. You would also remember that the Macbook Air's main feature, namely it's thickness called for certain compensations in it's design, such as only one USB port, no ethernet slot, and most importantly no CD/DVD player/recorder.


The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is another major contender for the top spot in the ultraportable segment. Like the Macbook air, it has a full 13.3 inch monitor, and a solid state hard drive. However, it also incorporates features that any business user will expect in a laptop such as three USB ports, and Ethernet slots. It also comes with built in Wi-fi. However, the main differentiating factor of the the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is the built in DVD burner. With the addition of this, it fills a major need in the top ultraportable laptops.

Looks wise, the the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is nothing to sneeze at. With a thickness of less than one inch, and a full sized keyboard layout, the The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 provides full functionality while maintaining it's cool factor. It's because of this that I've included it as an "Irresistible Goodie".

The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 incorporates some futuristic technolgies like a fingerprint reader. Imagine how cool it is opening up your laptop, and instead of typing in a username and password, you get to press your finger on the scanner. Feels like something out of the Matrix. Now they need to put in a Retina scan and I'm moving baby!

Communication is now fully built into the laptop with a noice cancelling digital microphone and a webcam built right into it! You're ready to talk and be seen anytime, anywhere.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 comes bundled with all the ThinkVantage applications. You press a blue button on the top left of the keyboard to bring up the suite that manages various facets of your computer including hard drive maintenance, and the "Shock Protection" feature that can save your hard drive if it's in free fall. You get a cool page telling you that the hard disk has shut down since it's in danger, and will resume if the laptop is stable again. Very intelligent.
