Conclusion: Better Than the MacBook Air?

by

So what should you think of the X300? It’s an excellent machine. Its minor drawbacks are incidental for professionals and its advantages are many. But there remains one big problem: the price. Lenovo’s decision to opt for the SSD hard drive has added to the system’s cost. But when compared to competing laptops, the PC is worth the price. TheMacBook Air SSD, for example, retails at a comparable price, minus several of the X300’s features.

"3D performance lags somewhat"

That is a really stupid comment for a laptop that is obviously not meant for anything 3D. Even if the comment was in jest, you could have said something about how damn ugly it is or the screen luminosity which you kept harping on about through the review.

i would still take the mac.. and for one good reason, OSX

this comes to you from a vista laptop that refuses to recognise a mouse and upon startup takes about 2-3 minutes of constant harddrive access to load up

Why would anyone want to own a Lenovo Thinkpad of any description? They look and feel like 'My First Laptop', are as ugly as sin and as aesthetic as an anvil.

Because sometimes function is more important than form.
