Electronista reports that Lenovo may be prepping an “Air-killer” already. Following on the heels of the Macworld announcement of the MacBook Air, Gizmodo received a tip stating that the upcoming ThinkPad X300 would also have a 13.3 inch LED backlit screen, would weigh in at 2.5 pounds, half a pound lighter than the MacBook Air. The upcoming computer apparently will also sport a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo with an 800 MHz bus, 400 MHz faster than the Air’s processor. The computer would also have a 1400x900 resolution commonly found on 17” displays, optional 3G or WiMax Internet, and an empty drive bay that could house a DVD burner, ExpressCard slot, or second battery.
Apparently the system will also ship with a 1.8 inch 64 GB solid state drive standard and have up to 4 GB of memory and three USB ports. Electronista says that it is planned for the first half of the year, but no price has been set.
In my opinion, this just sounds like a bunch of crap. Unless the planned release is really a few years in the future, at which point the MacBook Air would be able to match these specs, there is really no way it could maintain or even rival the Air’s thinness, especially with a drive bay. That said, if this is real, it would be the perfect computer if it could run OS X. I also wonder about the price, and how, with all this wonderful technology inside, it will be able to come close to the Air in price.
