MobileTechReview have published a review of the lightweight Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Notebook PC. ‘When you conjure up images of ThinkPad notebooks, they're more toward the Lincoln Continental than Lotus Elise. They're reliable, built like tanks, not svelte and in fact a bit boxy. The X300 is no Elise, but it's no old man's cruiser either-- it's ThinkPad Lite. Despite the 3 lb. lightweight design, the X300 features a robust carbon fiber/glass fiber chassis, spill-resistant keyboard and overall excellent build quality, just like its bigger brothers. But it's only about an inch thick (the front is thinner at 0.73") and it looks and feels good in the ThinkPad soft touch black finish which extends to the wrist rest area.

It may not be sexy or awe inspiring in terms of looks, but what's under the hood will make IT types and geeks drool. The ThinkPad X300 runs on Intel's 965 chipset with a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor. While the CPU isn't drool-inducing, the max 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM, 800MHz front side bus and 4 megs of level 2 cache are start-of-the-art. And the SL7100 is a recently designed CPU for the ultra-mobile market focusing on significant size and power reduction, which is interesting.’
