The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is the PC answer to the new Mac book air. The X300 is a very small and light portable laptop that is crammed full of components designed to be used on the road for office and media applications.
Brand new Solid state disk drive which is perfect for compact laptop making them ideal for travel
The X300 takes advantage of the new solid state hard disk technology that has no moving parts allowing it to be very compact. The downside to this technology is that it adds a rather large cost whilst only providing 64GB of storage space. The processor is a good Intel Core 2 Duo and combined with the 2GB of memory this laptop will have no trouble running office, internet and media applications.
Unlike other Ultra-Portable laptops the X300 has kept lots of connection ports for USB devices, network as well as a built in webcam and a DVD drive so you can still watch movies. The graphics card is not suitable for gaming but will cope with all other tasks. The 13.3 inch screen is a good size for this tiny laptop and is easy to see even when on the move.
The ThinkPad X300 is ideal for working whilst on the move thanks to its tiny stature and weight. It uses many of the latest technologies available today to achieve such a portable design but this is at the cost of a decent graphics card and a small hard disk. We would recommend this laptop to anyone wanting a work machine that can be taken and used literally anywhere.

For windows applications, internet, e-mail and work this laptop will run through them without any slow down. Due to the power in this laptop it will be an ideal computer for anyone wishing to do music, video or photo editing.
The Large 20" screen is ideal for media and gaming
The 20 inch screen with this laptop makes it ideal for multimedia and gaming but does increase the size of the laptop significantly so it will not be ideal for portability. If you want to upgrade this laptop we would recommend a bigger hard disk or ecternal hard drive if you are wanting to store a lot of data. The 120GB should be more than adequate for most users but the 1GB of memory should be upgraded to at least 2GB to get the very best from this machine.
