ThinkPad X300 overview
ThinkPad X300 compared to ThinkPad ...
No SD slot. Very expensive. SSD drive is your only option. Low-voltage processors can bog down performance in Vista.
Expensive
Heavier than Macbook Air
Small trackpad
Little available hard disk space
SSD means only 64GB of drive space
No card slots
Pricey
Small touchpad
Needs bigger hard drive
A standard (and larger capacity) hard drive would be just fine. Disappointing battery life (2 hours
13 minutes). Power cord is too short. Black brick design really feeling its age. Graphics performance is middling at best.Clock Rate

Solid-state drive comes at a high premium
Touch pads location makes it easy to accidentally graze while typing.

This is an exceptional package. If you travel, and can justify nearly £2000 on a laptop, this should be on your short list. The pros listed here easily outweigh the minor cons. ...
Amazingly light and portable, Lots of expansion ports, Feels rugged, Includes swappable optical drive
Expensive, Small touchpad, Needs bigger hard drive
Lenovo has done a very good job with the X300, and if we win the lottery soon we’d choose it over the MacBook Air simply because it’s just as portable but a lot more flexible. Despite its size, the X300 makes very few compromises to achie...
Abstract: For me, the ThinkPad has a timeless design. I've said it before and I'll say it again, black will always be the new black, no matter how many silver, titanium, red or pink pretenders make their way onto the market. While others have accused the ThinkPad o...
