Quote from the review: "While Lenovo's ultra-sleek X300 may have stolen the show as the company's MacBook Air competitor back in April, the machine's astronomic price tag also left most would-be buyers pressing against the window glass like gawkers at a Maserati dealership.

I4U Review Round-up: GT 5 Prologue PS3, NZXT Tempest, Thinkpad X300
This week we reviewed Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Sony PS3. If you are a driving game fan, you simply can’t miss Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.
This is one of the best driving games ever and to think that this is only a small portion of what the full Gran Turismo 5 game will bring to the table is enough to make a gamer weak in the knees.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review
The test lab at our review partner Digital Trends tested the new Lenovo Thinkpad X300 and published a review.
Quote from the review: "Lenovo has released its Macbook Air “killer,” the svelte and feature laden ThinkPad X300. While Apple had to make a number of compromises on the Air to get it down to its remarkable size, Lenovo took the opposite approach and have crammed as many features as possible – including an optical drive – into the X300. It’s an expensive notebook because, unlike the Air, it comes with a solid-state 64GB hard drive standard.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review
Hothardware published a review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X300. Lenovo started shipping this hot ultra portable notebook in February.
Quote from the review: "According to Lenovo, the ThinkPad X300 was designed to be the most efficient notebook the company has ever offered, with claims of a 25% reduction in power consumption in comparison to previous X-Series models.

Lenovo Introduces ThinkPad X300
Lenovo pulled the wraps off its new ThinkPad X300 ultraportable notebook today. Lenovo says the X300 was designed for the most demanding road warriors and is the thinnest and lightest full function notebook in its class. The X300 measures less than three-fourths of an inch at its thinnest point.
The X300 weighs only 2.9 pounds and uses a LED backlit display. "The ThinkPad X300 notebook marks a major milestone for the ThinkPad family," said Peter Hortensius, senior vice president, Notebook Business Unit, Lenovo. "ThinkPad has been pioneering notebook PC design for more than 15 years, raising the bar on innovation, and focusing on the core needs of ThinkPad users, namely quality, reliability and functionality. Our customers told us that they wanted a notebook that was amazingly thin and light, but that they still wanted their battery options, their USB ports and of course, their DVD burner. Well the waiting is over, and it's all there in the ThinkPad X300, our thinnest and lightest ThinkPad ever." Read more

Thinkpad X300 indepth Review
Walt Mossberg at the WSJ already gave us the big picture of the new Thinkpad X300 notebook in his review this week. Now NotebookReview has published a review of the X300 that looks at the performance of the lightweight notebook in more detail.
Update 02/26/08:
Thinkpad X300 ships
Quote from the review: "Let's get this straight; the ThinkPad X300 was not built to compete with your Quad Core processor loaded desktop. The name of the game with thin travel notebooks is using a low voltage processor to conserve power and reduce heat build-up. The ThinkPad X300 uses an Intel 1.20GHz Core 2 Duo L7100 processor that's quite capable of running office applications and performing any general web related tasks, but will not serve well for 3D graphics applications or any heavy duty rendering tasks.

Thinkpad X300 Review
Walt Mossberg finished his review of the new Lenovo Thinkpad X300 he previewed a week ago.
Quote from the X300 review: " can recommend the X300 for road warriors without hesitation, provided they can live with its two biggest downsides: a relatively paltry file-storage capacity and a hefty price tag. This ThinkPad starts at $2,476 for a stripped-down model and at $2,799 for a preconfigured retail version with a half-size battery.

Lenovo ThinkPad T61p 14.1-inch and 15.4-inch Notebooks Review
ThinkComputers tested the Lenovo ThinkPad T61p 14.1-inch and 15.4-inch Notebooks and published a review.
Quote from the review: "Back in September we took a look at the new R-Series ThinkPad the R61, now it is time for the T-Series. As we explained in the R61 review the T-Series is the pricier of the 2 ThinkPad series', as it has a more powerful processor and graphics. With ultraportables being all the rage now it is hard to pack all the power into a notebook that can be easily carried around. Lenovo is able to do that with the T61p at only 1.1-inches thick and weighing in at 5lbs, it is smaller than most mobile workstations. It is also the first widescreen

Lenovo Thinkpad T61p Review
After taking a first look at the Thinkpad T61p a couple of weeks ago, XYZ Computing has published a full review of this new Lenovo notebook.
Quote from the review: "People who demand more from their notebook than an internet connection, a screen, and a keyboard and who are less concerned about weight can get a surprising amount of power from the right machine.

Lenovo ThinkPad X61 and X61s Notebook Review
XYZ Computing reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad X61 and X61s Notebooks.
Quote from the review:
"Overall, not a lot has changed from the X60. The system is still the same old 12" ultraportable that so many road warriors have come to appreciate, it still has that conservative ThinkPad styling, and- you guessed it- still no optical drive. There is good news though because changes were made inside the system. The biggest move was an upgrade to the notebooks' platform as the new systems use Intel's Centrino Duo technology. This platform, which affects the wireless, chipset, and processor, is also known as "Santa Rosa" and marks an appreciable evolution in notebook design. Another change is that the processors were upgraded. While the X60 moved up from one set of Core 2 Duos to another, the X60s had a major change as it moved from a Core Duo process up to the new Core 2 Duo line.
