Pcpro.co about Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review:- The screen is generally a pleasure to use. It actually feels larger than its true 13.3in diagonal, and that 1,440 x 900 resolution is a big leap over the 1,024 x 768 of traditional 12.1in screens. For example, it means you can have the taskbar in the right-hand part of the screen (a notable improvement over having it on the bottom as it makes navigating open windows so much easier) and still have plenty of room for a spreadsheet.

Reviews.cnet about Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review:- The biggest issue for me would be lack of space for my media, which sets me at about 80 gigs without Apps and other files. I say a company needs to layer 2 of these SSD’s In a computer with full card compatibility so a user can look at 160 gigs of flash memory(64/64+32). I would rather have a 1-inch thick laptop with practical specs than a .73 with a few nuts and bolts shaken loose.
I guess apple is going with the whole “buy a terabyte Mac Pro for home and access those files on the go” kind of thinking. So I guess your ultraportable choice relys on your lifestyle and budget.

Mossblog about Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review:- Lenovo’s new skinny ThinkPad comes with a hefty complement of ports and features, some of the very things critics complained Apple left out. It has a built-in DVD drive, removable battery, three USB ports, and a wired Ethernet networking jack. Inside, in addition to Wi-Fi, it can be ordered with a built-in cellphone modem and even GPS. It comes with either Windows Vista or Windows XP.
