CNET Editors' review - Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Editors' choice

Excellent

8.5

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.5 out of 10
Reviewed by Michelle Thatcher
Review date: 2/22/08
Release date: 2/26/08

The good: Extremely thin and light; sleekest ThinkPad yet; built-in DVD burner, plus WWAN, GPS, and wireless USB.

The bad: Solid-state drive comes at a high premium; touch pad's location makes it easy to accidentally graze while typing.

The bottom line: The ThinkPad X300 breaks new ground by packing a broad display, full-size keyboard, and nearly every feature a mobile user needs into a sleek, lightweight case.
