Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Light and portable
  • DVD+-RW drive
  • Excellent keyboard
  • Higher resolution than usual screen
  • Incredibly robust
The bad:
  • No eSATA
  • Trackpad isn't that sensitive
  • Annoying built-in software
  • Horridly short battery life
  • Expensive
The bottomline:

The X301 may be new guts in an old chassis, but it still has standout features untouched by the likes of Apple and Toshiba. The only real downside is the horrible battery life — but we suspect if you need an ultraportable, you'll know right away whether this one is for you or not.
