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
