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 relatively expensive at around $2,955.
Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.
Pros:
Has only a 3.4-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.
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.
This notebook's Intel GMA X3100 graphics chip uses system RAM, which sometimes results in slower performance.
Suitability:
Suitable for those who consider weight the most important feature.
Bring along your favorite movies and watch them on your notebook with the included DVD player.
Includes office-grade word processing software -- fine for most serious business or academic document authors.
