Technology journalist Walt Mossberg reviews the soon-to-be-available Lenovo ThinkPad X300 notebook computer. In sum, Walt likes the thin (0.73-0.92 inch) ThinkPad calling it impressive, solid and innovative and perfect for many mobile PC users.
WM dings the X300 for its small (64GB) solid-state-drive, relatively low battery life and the big price ($2476-$3000). But he does go on to say that the laptop has some good features such as the 1440×900 128dpi screen and some things that are missing from the Apple MacBook Air namely an Ethernet jack, removable battery and a built-in optical drive.
…in summary, while the X300 is about 79% thicker than the MacBook Air, it has more of the features used by road warriors, and includes 26% more pixels.
Price May Be Steep, but Thin ThinkPad Has Abundant Features – Walt Mossberg, February 21 2008

I would have loved to get one of these ThinkPads back in the day, if the price hadn’t been so high.
As a big Ethernet user, I always wished more products had Ethernet jacks as this one did.
