What's Hot

Looks great, very comfortable to type with, solidly built, very light, good performance

What's Not

High price tag, no HDMI port, no FireWire port, latch makes it hard to close with one hand, low battery life

The Final Word

It's very difficult to criticise the Lenovo ThinkPad X301 without sounding like a nitpicker. This is a fantastic and well-engineered notebook that has plenty of features and looks very attractive. The only substantial issues are the high price tag, the lower than average battery life and the problematic latch.
