Description:
This configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is a 3.2-pound, ultra light notebook computer.
Compared to other ultra compact notebooks on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $2,425.
Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.
Pros:
Has only a 3.2-pound weight, which is considerably lighter than some similarly priced notebooks.
Also, this notebook has a plug-in module media bay, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.
Has a
modular media bay
-- meaning its DVD-Writer drive is removable, allowing you easily to swap it out for alternative or upgraded units.
Cons:
Has only a 64GB hard drive, which is somewhat smaller than some similarly priced notebooks.
For example, the
Sony VAIO SZ480NW7
, a 3.7-pound notebook at around $2, 350, has a 160GB hard drive.
Also, this notebook has a DVD-Writer removable disc drive, which is somewhat less favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.
Integrated graphics controllers that rely on shared RAM are sometimes an acceptable trade-off for budget-minded users.
Suitability:
A ultra compact notebook, suited for traveling light.
Bring along your favorite movies and watch them on your laptop with the included DVD player.
Comes with advanced word processing software -- fine for most serious business or academic writers.
Improve your family videos by editing them with this notebook’s bundled video software.
Get status reports while on business trips by using this notebook’s built-in Wi-Fi modem to connect to wireless networks in airports and hotels.
Value:
Despite its relatively expensive price, this notebook has great features for the money.
For example, when it comes to screen size, the average price of ultra compact products with a similar screen size is quite a bit more -- right around $3,062.
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 Internet more conveniently from any room.
(2) To get the most out of this computer's Bluetooth capability, you could have a Bluetooth-enabled headset, PDA 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.
