Lenevo's Thinkpad X300 is Rival for Apple's Thinnest LapTop


Apple MacBook Air, launched last month, finally has an official challenger from the Chinese PC manufacturer Lenovo.

The company has launched their ThinkPad X300 ultra-portable machine. The notebook weighs 2.93 pounds (base model) and boasts of more features than Apple MacBook Air.

Lenovo has equipped this notebook with three USB ports and DVD Writer, in comparison to MacBook Air's one USB port and no writer.

The laptop measures 0.73 inches at its thinnest point and 0.92 inches at its thickest point, bigger in comparison to MacBook Air, which measures 0.16 inches at its thinnest part and 0.76 inches at its thickest part.

The company also claims that the notebook uses 25 per cent less power than previous ThinkPad models.

Targeted at both business and consumer users, the laptop comes with Windows XP or Windows Vista.

ThinkPad X300 comes with 64 GB hard drive, 13.3-inch LED-backlit display and lithium-polymer battery. The lithium-polymer chemistry provides better battery life than standard lithium-ion batteries found in most laptops today

X300 is powered by Intel's Core 2 Duo SL7100 LV low-voltage chip, operating at 1.2GHz. The laptop is expected to get WiMax capabilities later this year.
