Uber cool ThinkPad X300

Macbook Air, please stay away.

ThinkPad X300. The thinnest and lightest full-function notebook in its class. The ultraportable X301 starts at only 2.93 lbs. Models including the integrated super-thin DVD burner weigh in at a slight 3.1 lbs.  Features 3 USB ports plus external display, headphone/line-out and microphone/line-in. X300 looks and feels like an ultraportable but has the powerful processor, exceptional solid-state drive, long battery life and rock-solid durability of a full-sized, professional-grade ThinkPad. 

ThinkPad X300 models feature 13.3" widescreens—a workspace roomy enough for spreadsheets yet perfectly scaled for optimum portability.  X300 models are equipped with dual speakers for enhanced stereo sound not typical in most ultraportables.

Beyond thin and light

Lenovo’s amazing new ThinkPad X300 ultraportable notebook is the thinnest ThinkPad ever – less than 19mm at its thinnest.  It’s light too, just 1.4 kg.

But the X300 is more than ultra-thin and ultra-light.  It’s ultra-functional, too, thanks for available performance and convenience features like these:

Integrated DVD burner –  Hard to find in an ultraportable

Extended-life batteries – Get up to 10 hours unplugged

Easy connectivity – Advanced wireless options plus Gigabit Ethernet

Convenience – 3 USB ports, line in/line out, and more

Advanced components on the X300 include Solid State storage drives (with no moving parts, they consume less power and are considered less likely to break down than traditional hard drives). The X300 also offers several wireless connectivity options including integrated Wireless WAN and WLAN.

Style-wise, the X300 is closer to the size of an actual paper notebook than a ThinkPad notebook has ever been. And it offers numerous design flourishes including a glossy bottom bezel, select illuminated buttons, and – for the first time in X Series – an integrated camera option and stereo speakers.

'Greenest' ThinkPad ever

In addition, ThinkPad X300 is the first Lenovo notebook rated EPEAT Gold for low energy use and minimal impact on the environment.  It also meets the European Union’s Reduction of Hazardous Substances standards.  And it is Energy Star 4.0 qualified.

The X300 uses 25% less energy than previous X Series models.  What else makes the ThinkPad X300 so "green"?

• Energy-saving low voltage processors, LED backlit displays and solid state storage drives

• Arsenic-free glass / Mercury-free displays

• 90% recyclable packaging (by weight)

• And much more
