Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Extremely thin and light
  • Sleekest ThinkPad yet
  • built-in DVD burner
  • WWAN, GPS, and wireless USB
The bad:
  • Solid-state drive comes at a high premium
  • Touch pad's location makes it easy to accidentally graze while typing
The bottomline:

The ThinkPad X300 breaks new ground by packing a broad display, full-size keyboard, and nearly every feature a mobile user needs into a sleek, lightweight case.

Editors’ rating:

8.5/10

RRP: AU$3999.00
