Lenovo ThinkPad X300 - Modular Notebook

By Tim McGuinness Ph.D. on February 22nd, 2008

Lenovo’s X300 Notebook is changing everything you thought you knew about thin laptops. Apple declares their product to be the “World’s Thinnest Notebook” computer! But think again Apple! A Lenovo ThinkPad X300 may be that notebook computer after all! Not only is it super thin, but it has an attribute Apple doesn’t: modularity!

Lenovo’s amazing new ThinkPad X300 ultraportable notebook is the thinnest ThinkPad ever — less than 0.73” at its thinnest. It’s light, too, starting at just 2.93 lb. But the Lenovo X300 is more than ultra-thin and ultra-light.

It’s ultra-functional, too, thanks to available performance and convenience features like these:

Integrated DVD burner (almost impossible to find in such a thin system)
Extended-life batteries (get up to 10 hours unplugged)
Easy connectivity (advanced wireless options plus Gigabit Ethernet)
Convenience (3 USB ports, microphone/headphone ports and more)

The Ultra Thin ThinkPad X300Take that Apple! Advanced components on the X300 include solid state storage drives (with no moving parts, they consume less power and are considered less likely to break down than traditional hard drives). The X300 also offers several wireless connectivity options including Wireless USB (UWB) and a Wireless WAN option that utilizes native GPS (Global Positioning System) functionality built into the system. Style-wise, the X300 is closer to the size of an actual paper notebook than a ThinkPad notebook has ever been. And it offers numerous design flourishes including a glossy bottom bezel, select illuminated buttons, and for the first time in Lenovo’s X Series Notebooks: an integrated camera option and stereo speakers.In addition, ThinkPad X300 is the first Lenovo notebook rated EPEAT Gold for low energy use and minimal impact on the environment. It also meets the European Union’s Reduction of Hazardous Substances standards. And it is Energy Star 4.0 qualified. The ThinkPad X300 uses 25% less energy than previous ThinkPad X Series models. What else makes the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 so “green”? Energy-saving low voltage processors, LED backlit displays and solid state storage drives; Mercury-free display; 90% recyclable packaging (by weight); and much more.

So Thin It Fit’s In An Envelope!
