Lenovo ThinkPad X300 w/ 3-Cell Bay Battery

Intro: This configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is a 3.2-pound, ultra compact notebook computer.Compared to other ultra light notebooks on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $2,375.Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.

Noteworthy Features: Has only a 3.2-pound weight, which is somewhat lighter than some similarly priced notebooks.Also, this notebook has 1440 x 900 native screen resolution.This is higher than the average notebook on the market today, but is to be expected for a notebook of this price.

Weaker Features: Has only a 64GB hard drive, which is smaller than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the Sony VAIO VGN-Z550N/B, a 3.3-pound notebook at around $2, 100, has a 250GB hard drive.The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 comes with basic word processing software -- serious business or academic document authors probably will want to upgrade to a full-fledged office suite.Integrated graphics controllers that rely on shared video memory are sometimes an acceptable trade-off for budget-minded users.
