Description: This configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is a 3.4-pound, ultra compact notebook computer. Compared to other ultra compact notebooks on the market, it is expensive at around $3,160. Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.

Pros: Has 4 GB RAM, which is considerably more than some similarly priced notebooks. Also, this notebook has only a 3.4-pound weight, which is considerably lighter than some similarly priced notebooks. The DVD-Writer is housed in a modular plug-in drive bay, which is more upgradeable and gives you more options than an integrated drive.

Cons: Has only a 64GB hard drive, which is somewhat smaller than some similarly priced notebooks. For example, the ASUSTek Asus Lamborghini VX3-A1 , a 3.7-pound notebook at around $3, 215, has a 320GB hard drive. Also, this notebook has a DVD-Writer removable disc drive, which is somewhat less favorable than some similarly priced notebooks. Graphics-intensive applications (such as texture-rich games, DVD playback, and video editing) will hinder performance on a system that relies on shared video RAM.

Suitability: Suitable for those who consider weight the most important feature. Comes with a DVD player for watching movies. Includes advanced word processing software; it comes with well-rounded features for most writers. If you have a wireless network at home, wirelessly browse the Web from any room in your house with this Wi-Fi enabled laptop.

Value: Notwithstanding its expensive price, this notebook has good features for the money.

Suggestions: (1) Given this device's Wi-Fi capability, you may want to get a wireless access point for your home, so that you can browse the Web more conveniently from any room. (2) To get the most out of this notebook's Bluetooth capability, you could have a Bluetooth-enabled headset, handheld or other device, and be able to link it wirelessly to your computer within a range of 20-or-so feet inside the same room.
