Lenovo created quite a stir the past several weeks with the ultra-thin, 2.9 lb X300 notebook.

After visiting the Apple store last week, I would have purchased the MacBook Air had I had the money. I'm glad I waited until I got my hands on the X300. WOW!! I'm amazed every time I pick up the X300 at how light and well balanced it is. The boot speed and overall speed has been pretty impressive so far, too. In my opinion, the extra features like 2 more USB slots, support for 2 batteries, wireless USB, and integrated WWAN make this a no-brainer for the road warrior . The only thing missing, of course, is the Tablet PC functionality.

Enjoy this first look review of the X300. In addition, I also compare it to the X61 Tablet PC so you can get a real world comparison to the size differences. I'll have a more detailed review in the next couple of weeks. Post any questions you might have, and I'll try to get them answered.
