I’ve always wanted to buy slim laptops. Sure the Sony and Toshiba notebooks that came out before the cool Apple Macbook Air was a bit hard on the pocket but its eye catching when you bring them out at your local Starbucks. Now the lighty Macbook Air has a rival in the new Lenovo ThinkPad X300.
Businessweek has a good behind-the-scenes look at Lenovo’s 20 month journey to build the perfect slim laptop that comes out after the Macbook Air 9 Feb shipping date.
The price range for this piece of art is about $2,700 to $3,000, and it will be featured at the upcoming Beijing Olympics 2008, where Lenovo is to be one of the major sponsors. The official launch for this hotness is slated for February 26th.
Personally, I use ThinkPad before and find that the build is solid and defnitely worth the price. The hardware is stable and the whole product doesn’t feel plastic. Thus, I am confident that this product will provide a stiff challenge to Macbook Air.
