Description:
The Lenovo ThinkPad X300-6477 is a 3.4-pound, ultra compact notebook computer.
Compared to other ultra portable notebooks on the market, it is expensive at around $3,115.
Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.
Pros:
Has only a 3.4-pound weight, which is somewhat lighter than some similarly priced notebooks.
Also, this notebook has a plug-in module media bay, which is somewhat 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.
Shared video memory has a negative impact on system performance which may be okay for users with more modest graphics needs.
Users with more demanding needs should look to a graphics solution that brings its own muscle.
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 writers.

wireless access point
for your home, so that you can browse the Internet more conveniently from any room.
