Lenovo ThinkPad X300 4.50

Explain star rating

RRP

$3999.00

Review Date

Thursday, 13th of March, 2008

Features

Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo L7100

Supported Media : DVD±RW (±R DL)

What's Hot

64GB SSD storage, 3G HSDPA adapter, LED back-lit screen, ThinkVantage software

What's Not

High cost of the hardware, limited internal storage space, flimsy hinges, no FireWire, Express Card or PC Card slot

The Final Word

ThinkPad X300 is not a cheap notebook, but it only costs the sum of the components it offers, so you're getting what you pay for. The SSD and 3G features make this a great road warrior, and Lenovo's ThinkPad design leaves us confident it will take a few knocks.
