(2008-02-17) Lenovo Thin Laptop

Lenovo's new thin X300 Think Pad Lap Top clearly competes with the MacBook Air. The X300 isn't perfect. Perhaps no computer can be. But its development over the past 20 months shows the journey of one team striving for perfection, while at the same time being forced to make hard compromises. Lenovo doesn't expect the X300, with prices ranging from $2,700 to $3,000, to be a huge seller. They believe it will be a "halo" product, leading to positive reinforcement for the corporate brand and for the more affordable Think Pads.
