Lenovo Notebooks

ThinkPad X300 is not only looking great, but has tons of supreme functions and an ultimate performance! Highly-anticipated Lenovo X300 Series Thinkpad is a business laptop oriented on people that are happy with superb product with conservative look, underline that it is the thinnest and lightest full-function notebook in its class. The ultra-thin, ultraportable ThinkPad X300 notebook measures less than three-fourths of an inch at its thinnest point, or approximately the height of a U.S. quarter coin, and has a starting weight as low as 2.9 pounds (Weight of 2.9 pounds achieved with configuration of standard 3-cell lithium polymer battery and without integrated DVD burner).

The ThinkPad X300 unites several latest leading technologies such as solid-state drive storage, a LED backlit display, ultralong battery life and enhanced wireless connectivity. Rated Gold by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) for its superior environmental attributes, it also features a number of environmentally-conscious technologies, such as low-voltage processors.

"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."

The notebook's 13.3-inch LED backlight WXGA+ high resolution display presents brighter and more energy-efficient performance than LCD displays. The notebook comes equipped with a 1.8-inch 64 GB SSD that provides more than twice the performance of a regular 2.5-inch hard drive. With no moving parts, the technology offers more than four times greater shock resistance as well as greater energy efficiency than traditional hard disk drives and contributes to the notebook's thin and light design. The notebook also comes with the latest Intel® Centrino® with vPro™ technology, up to 4 GB memory and Lenovo's ThinkVantage Technologies. "The challenge we shared with Lenovo in its development of the ThinkPad X300 was in making things small without losing key capabilities, such as performance and battery life," said Mooly Eden, corporate vice president and general manager, Intel Mobile Platforms Group. "Intel's contribution included developing packaging technology that enabled us to shrink the Intel Centrino platform by more than 50 percent, yet retain its high performance and low energy consumption." In its first big test out of the gate, the ThinkPad X300 notebook PC will support team members on the official aircraft of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay as it launches a demanding 137,000-kilometer, five-continent "marathon" next month. Often departing from torch relay cities late at night and arriving at the next city in the early hours of the morning, and with no margin for error, the torch team will rely on both ThinkPad and Ideapad technology to support nearly 22,000 torchbearers, in more than 130 cities worldwide.

Rated Gold by EPEAT, the ThinkPad X300 notebook stands out as one of the most environmentally-responsible PCs in the industry. Lenovo designed the notebook to include environmentally-conscious technologies such as energy-efficient SSD and arsenic-free LCD glass and mercury-free LED displays. The energy-efficient LED display helps the ThinkPad X300 notebook achieve up to 35 percent lower power consumption than previous models. Lenovo also uses recyclable packaging.

Designed for maximum mobility & performance the versatile ThinkPad X300 notebook PC offers models that can be configured for extreme portability starting at just 2.9 pounds, or maximum battery life of up to 10 hours or a balance between the two with a convenient built-in DVD burner. With its compact, thin and light design, the notebook packs a powerful punch, providing a full suite of innovative features to meet users' mobile computing needs. Moreover, notebook offers an optional built-in 7-millimeter slim DVD burner for easy, flexible, on-the-go multimedia capabilities. It also includes stereo speakers, a digital microphone and an integrated camera.

Created with advanced carbon and glass fiber, the ThinkPad X300 notebook's Next Generation ThinkPad Roll Cage helps protect the notebook from falls and drops that can occur in mobile environments. These same materials are used in building airplanes and Formula One race cars to help reinforce their structure without adding additional weight.

Armed with an integrated fingerprint reader, I/O port disablement and 32-byte password protection, the notebook offers a layered security approach to help protect data and unauthorized access.

Users have a big assortment of connectivity options at their fingertips including models designed for WiMax, when the technology becomes available, as well as ultra-wideband/wireless USB, WWAN, WLAN and GB Ethernet. Built-in GPS functionality allows mobile users to navigate by helping them to connect to popular mapping programs (GPS functionality only available on U.S. models including Verizon WWAN card).
