The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is the latest addition to the ThinkPad family and has recently been garnering a lot of attention. The ThinkPad X300 is a 13.3" screen ultra thin-and-light notebook designed for the traveling business type of person -- the executive road warrior if you will. But let's be honest, suit or no suit, with the type of technology and cool engineering crammed into the X300 everyone's going to be a little bit curious about this notebook, and envious of anybody that has one.

Notebooks have always had a place in business settings, but having a relatively small and dim screen makes them a pain to use in bright offices. This is where your external monitor comes in to save the day, with a brighter screen and usually a higher resolution. One such monitor is the Lenovo ThinkVision WUXGA L220x, offering a massive amount of screen real estate with a bright and accurate LCD panel.

Lenovo ThinkPad x300The MacBook Air’s stirred up some interesting discussion about what’s expected of an ultraportable notebook. Lenovo’s answer is the ThinkPad X300 series, which features a 64GB solid state drive, three USB ports, a DVD burner. Not bad for a 2.5 pound package.

Pound for pound, the ThinkPad x300 has a lot more features than the MacBook Air and is up to half a pound lighter, depending on configuration. The ThinkPad X300 series hasn’t been announced yet, but our friends over at Gizmodo got their hands on the specs and details early. I haven’t confirmed the details with Lenovo, but this presentation may be a little out of date (notice the Cingular reference). The X300 will have a range of wireless options, including Verizon EVDO Rev. A and HSDPA from AT&T.

One thing Lenovo’s definitely got right with the X300 is a removable primary battery and an optional secondary battery that can be swapped for the optical drive. Each 3-cell battery is good for four hours of runtime, for eight total. it’s also good to see the X300 has three USB ports, one of which can be used for a USB port replicator.

The Lenovo X300 series looks like ...

IdeaPad InterviewLenovo’s introduced the IdeaPad notebook series at CES 2008. I talked to Craig Merrigan, Lenovo’s VP of consumer marketing, about the new line of consumer notebooks. The company is very late to the consumer notebook table, and faces several challenges.

Merrigan says Lenovo’s not going to “hose the world down with money to buy consideration.” Instead he hopes the products will wow its first customers enough to build some word of mouth buzz. Check out the interview below.
