X300: Perfect Laptop from Lenova
March 1st, 2008Apple’s MacBook Air may be the coolest notebook to have these days. But Lenovo’s X300, another ultra-thin laptop, that is the first Thinkpad in a long time you could lust for.
The X300 is a new category of notebook computer that launched with the visually aggressive and less compromising Macbook Air and the idea Lenovo has come up with suggests that a new “Perfect” notebook for our time is approaching quickly and turning into a moving target. (Business Week has a first look at the X300).
So, what makes this X300 a better Macbook Air and what can we expect from this category in the long term. How will Intel’s Silverthorne, hybrid graphics, ready-boost/turbo memory/hybrid drives, fuel cells, Wi-Max, modularity, and “Cloud Computing” impact this new category?
