  • sucks they stopped making it

  • I find this laptop to be just as overpriced as MAC's. sadly.

    1,853.92 USD in Denmark!

  • My friend has this laptop, for a ultraportable it has one of the most solid keyboards out there.

  • At 0:15 he says "it lacks the clits of that machine." DAMN RIGHT macs have clits.

  • @ImTaylorGang he says glitz. only two things in the world have clits, and they are both beautiful.: women and thinkpads

  • So ugly!

  • @guesswhoisthis101 its a MAN'S laptop not for WIMPS

  • No way! I'm gay and I love this laptop!

  • that's a touchpad you have been brainwashed by apple

  • I love this video for the camerawork it makes me laugh ^-^

  • that keyboard is kinda retarted.....

  • @wetowels totally!

  • uuhi really need somebody to talk to really bored today

  • I love this computer, but the processor is pokey.. My Athilon board from 2000 runs at 1.1 Ghz...My moms dell latitude D510 runs at 1.73, and its from '03

  • clockspeed != performance !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Current processors are a LOT faster at the same clock!

  • Our old hand built computer was built in 2005 and has the following specs:

    Processor: 1.8GHz AMD Duron

    Memory: 768MB Ram

    Video Card: nVidia 5200FX 128MB

    HDD: 80GB + 40GB HDDs

    DVD/CD Multi Burner (Bought in 2009)

    The 80GB hdd was given to me when my step dad updated his computer.

    To bad the power supply fried (Sad Face x 1000).

    My OLD Laptop from 1998 Runs at 133MHz, 40MB Ram, Windows 95, 1MB Video Card, 4x CD-ROM Drive, 1440MB 4200RPM Hard Disk, No Wi-Fi

  • perfect for business.

  • Perfect laptop Lenovo The Best

  • This is the worst "professional" review I've seen. Get the camera view correct!

  • Ok, serious camera fail. Dude hold the laptop where the camera is pointing. When you were showing off the side ports, the camera was way off.

  • many comments here are misleading and biased and just ignorant...

    I will clear some of those....

    1)bloatware, bloatware is on every consumer desktop and laptop sold by every tier 1 manufacturer.

    To avoid bloatware, simply don't buy the consumer line...buy the business line, Most every tier 1 pc company has 2 lines of business.

    case in point, HP and Dell, their business lines are much higher quality, don't have bloatware,

  • Top 3 notebook manufacturers:

    1. Lenovo

    2. Acer

    3. Toshiba

    Top 3 WORST notebook manufacturers:

    1. HP/Compaq

    2. Sony

    3. Dell

    HP's are nothing but bloated pieces of shit. The bloatware is horrible and so is the wasted hard drive space you have when you get the thing. Designwise they are ok at most. On the software and performance level, they are horrible. Dell I only put up there because I had a bad experience, other people they are fine for. Lenovo, Acer, Toshiba FTW.

  • You sir, are an idiot....lmao "Toshiba FTW"! Toshiba is a complete joke, Dell's OK, Sony's OK, Acer has some good models, Lenovo has terrible build quality on everything but the Thinkpads, which are very ugly....And wow, HP is by far the best computer manufacturer in business. They make superior quality products, and all the "bloated" software can easily be uninstalled within like 5 minutes and you will have your hard drive space back. You need to get your facts straight.

  • I can give my opinion but do yourself a favor, try owning a couple and get a tech certification. I do in fact, have my facts straight. My point is that the shit SHOULDN'T BE THERE to begin with. I don't know anyone who wants it. All of the customers I have gotten complain about Windows and how slow and stuffed it is until they mention that their PC is an HP. HP is responsible for the Compaq abominations. I've owned a couple. Lenovo I have only had experience with Thinkpads which never broke.

  • down with compaqs, and emachines.

  • whats wrong with black?

  • flat black is ugly

    it's dull.

  • looks fine to me.

  • Thinkpads are generally business pcs. You can't have anything very outlandish in a professional environment.

  • what do you mean by "outlandish"?

  • Weird, bizarre, standing out.

    When you think of a business PC, you don't think of some mega bright colored PC with stickers all over it, do you?

  • From my experience, macbook does a beautiful job on its trackpads, whereas thinkpad does a great job on its trackpoints.

    It think it is quality of the input method that's more important than which input method you use.

    I'd be happy using a macbook air trackpad, but currently have a thinkpad sl300 and find that the trackpads are crap and almost unusable. You'll find the same problem with many acers and dells, especially the ones that choose to have no discernible edge to the trackpad.

  • mac sucks :)

  • The should get rid of the trackpoint and make the trackpad bigger instead. Or at least let the customer choose what option he buys.

  • Macbook Air is a netbook compared to this thing

  • Yeah, nothing like compromising the functionality of a laptop, excluding nevessary things, and forcung people to carry around dongles all for the sake of grabbing headlines with the "thinnest laptop". Good luck with that baggie of dongles. Oh that's right, people using the Air don't actually use it for anything, except to broadcast their disposable income on a slim web browser, s forget the bit about the dongle baggie.

  • The Camera man is a fool!

  • @AmjadSafa

    LoL der filmt den Tisch

  • Uhh, btw the u series core 2 actually benchmarked higher than the airs p series which are much cheaper and just lower clocked version of the cpus used in regular notebooks.

  • look at the tests this thing whoops the air in performance and does not get aluminum super hot like the air. PCMark05: x301=4457, Macbook Air=2478. and even though its gaming performance sucks it still beats the Air.

  • ha, and now it has a faster processor, and its cheaper!

  • I am using it and it's absolutely better than Mac Air!!!

  • Description FAIL..

  • What do you mean? Well, the computer might be good, and it's not all about how the computer looks like. But really, it doesn't look good, the design doesn't look like they are following today's designs. That's just my opinion.

  • Opinion FAIL...

  • I don't think everyone should always follow everyone else. Lenovo has a design that has proven true for them so they won't change it. I don't blame them. It isn't the best looking but I think its better than the pasty white mac look, if my future turned that white, well... I would just have to shoot myself :D I think today's designs should change too.

  • True. I don't like the white macbook either. It's not build very well either, except for less heat it's well made.

    But the design on the newest Macs and the old MacBook Pro is incredibly good imo. And the unibody makes it extremely solid.

    About PCs I like some of the Dell and Asus models.

    But I don't like Acer and Lenovo much. Most of the Acer machines just looks stupid and too shiny.

    I also don't like that most laptops are made in plastic.. geh...

  • Acer models do look very wierd and stupid but the performance and some of the features they have are really nice. Acer is too shiny. The Macbook really feels solid. I agree with you. Dell's I just had bad experience myself but I see other people who are happy with them so I don't bash them. My current laptop is a Gateway NX570X from 2007, the case is made partly of metal which is a lot more than what most laptop models can say. But Gateway is now a subsidary of Acer.

  • Description FAIL.... (to post:

    klypen - Why is Lenovo laptops so fucking ugly ? Looks like it's from the 90's...)

  • I know Macbook air is way better , although if Lenovo's werent so ugly I MIGHT CONSIDER actually buying one rather than looking at how ugly they are feeling sorry for people in stores

  • Nothing against your personal opinions, but I think the IBM/Lenovo design is classic. It's sleek, not all flare and isn't as gimmicky as the macbook air. The macbook is thin. That's it. The X series has so much more going for it. It is an actual notebook.

  • maiglockchen I actual respect you for not being a total idiot like 98 % of the people on Youtube and insulting people for stating they're opinions , I agree with you Macbook air is gimmicky . But i like it because it's the smallest mac , it may not be the most featured one but it is the smallest Which is what i want

  • I want one!

  • I really wanna strangle the camera man.

  • We have a few of these issued at my work, and Ive been lucky enough to play around with one for a bit. They are teh hawtness. The camera man and lighting in this video suck. =(

  • so sexy, im drooling over this laptop

    I currently have a t60 and i love it too, but i've always had an eye on the X300 ever since it came out

  • LMFAO sexy !? Look at my HP Mini 1000 thats what you call a sexy netbook and its sturdy if the thinkpad looked a little nicer i might consider purchasing

  • the X300 isn't a fucking netbook u dumbfuck

  • Comment removed

  • how can you compare somthing from HP to this machine, are you retarded?

  • Im not comparing them to anything other than LOOKS and an HP mini is MUCH nicer and Why cant we compare the too ?

  • you know why we cant compare the HP MINI WITH THIS MACHINE! its A IBM! INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES! if the HP mini fell out from my hand, the odd for it to be OK is high, neverthless this machine has somthing within if it drops it will be saved from the internal airbag whcih helps to protect all the hard drive from losing yoru work. But the HP mini's hard drive, well its good bye if anythign happens to the laptop!

  • How many times do I need to tell you , IM NOT COMPARING BY QUALITY FEATURES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT Im comparing by what most of the idiotic consumers look for which is simply the way it looks and anyone would choose an HP design than an over a decade old IBM design , and FYI I dont need that "harddrive airbag" your talking about because Im careful enough to not let anyone touch it for one thing , and also to not drop it in the first place !

  • 1. The HP Mini is not an ultra portable laptop.. its a Netbook.

    2. No optical drive HA IN UR FACE..

    3. and to the other user... IBM stands for International Business Management not Machine.

  • 1 I never said the HP mini is a ULPC and in fact it could be used as one considering I run Adobe Photo Shop CS3 on Windows 7 Ultimate beta

    2. I have no need for an optical drive i can actually afford to buy a slim little one that fits in my pocket anyways ..

    3. Who cares !

  • it stands for international business machines

  • i know i was being sarcastic BAD JOKE...

  • mac air has no optical drive

  • Comment removed

  • no, you got it wrong. the HP mini is a net book, and mac air and this is a superslim NOTEBOOK. that why you dont compare them. The HP dv2 is a super thin, and NOT THET expensive, with makes it the best of them all.

    and by the way HP IS THE BEST BRAND ;)

  • yeah. HP is far superior everyone know that.

    the HP dv2 is faaaar superior to this.

    in fact everything from HP is far superior.

  • Thinkpads: a legend. And this isn't different!

  • esta bueno el video, yo el que me voy a comprar es el lenovo 3000 n500-34Gb

  • ThinkPad® X301 is refreshment of the industry-acclaimed ThinkPad X300 notebook that provides on average nearly 20 percent better performance over the ThinkPad X300 notebook due to the latest DDR3 memory and the latest Intel® Core 2 Duo ultra low volt processor.

    Details of ThinkPad X301 can be found at greatlenovo(dot)blogspot(dot)c­om

  • Faggot

  • pretty damn cool

  • I love that they're just black and boxlike, built to be stable rather then beautiful, that's what I call beauty (when we're talking about a computer anyway).

  • how much it cost

  • 2 grand.

  • I think it starts at around 1800.

  • wtf is wrong with camera man

  • exactly what I'm thinking.. I can't even watch the video it's frustrating me so much

  • 6 shut the fuck up!  like being controlled? :) N

  • did some research and...

    Thinkpad T400 FTW! you get near-alienware performance for near-macbook size!

    X300 is great too, if they upgrade some parts to Intel's Montevina and a dedicated GFX card.

  • To bad this is like 2.5k$ . I wish the x200 had touchpad and a drive bay would make it a better buy

  • looking to be rated in private any takers?

  • Damn, learn to zoom.

  • so much better than air. there's only ONE problem... it's not a mac, it comes not whit osx. so... air is much better than lenovo.

  • you are such a stupid fuck.. LOL do you know that macs are pc now.. and you can put mac os on pc's? didnt tihnk so.. get a fucking grip.. apple is shit.. and only fucking idiots like you would think they are good. Let me guess.. they are SHINY! woopty fuckin doo.. lol the case does not make the computer you Rainbowy flaming faggot!!!

    thats okay im a fag too and im looking for a fag like you to come join my fantasy ;) ill give you a white OS cutie hehe

  • you can put any OS you want, now that's there's options to do that. so people need to stop bragging about Osx. Don't like windows? Dual-boot.

  • camera man is fcuking terrible

  • chinese corp :((((((((((((((((((((((((

  • X300 it game me never a problem

  • I would kill for the x300 ;(

  • God why won't people understand the difference between thinkpad and MACS!!! Thay are completely different.

    One is for u r average bussiness man that travels a lot and likes to look professional and want a laptop that can take a beating.

    while the other one is for those rich kids who prefer style over function. And want to keep up with the trend.

    I mean come on how many mac book airs will u see an accounting firm have? zero!!!

  • Am I the only one that thinks Lenovos are ugly?, look like an old laptop, Apple's MacBook is already very portable. MacBook Air is made for the Wireless World, and for people that travel a lot, that's why is "missing some parts" . You don't buy a laptop that fits in an envelope to keep it in your desk at home.

    Lenovo is OK, it's very portable and whatever, but it has Windows on it, and that sucks.

  • ???

    I actually like the look of the x300

    and i can see the great wireless features of the air

    but no optical drive??? come on

    x300 all the wa

  • Why does Windows suck?

    Oh right, Mac people don't like to use Windows because it's too ubiquitous. They want to be different.

    Regardless you can hackintosh that ThinkPad.

  • Windows sucks for things that induce heavy CPU and network loads. Also, multitasking is slightly more painful than on a UNIX based OS. Mac OSX owes its better load balancing and saner operation to its BSD roots, and its a large part of what its users like.

    I swear by OpenBSD myself, but then again, I'm not your average computer user.

    Windows is fine, of course, for web surfing and office productivity, and necessary for stuff like Symbian development (although I seriously wish it wasn't).

  • i disapprove your theory, and a CPU has absolutely nothing to do with a computers OS mac and windows both use core 2 duo and others. in my opinion mac is for people who like what there computers look like. and the apple theme is getting a little old. not to say i hate mac but windows is worth the money you pay instead of spending thousands on a mac that can even read a hd dvd

  • What theory? I stated that UNIX-like operating systems, OpenBSD and Mac OSX in particular and work better than Windows under heavy loads.

    Judging by your nonsensical reply (a CPU has nothing to do with a computer's OS? What? The OS has to have proper support for a CPU if it's to work at all) and really bad grammar, I'd wager you're either a kid or a genuine fucktard. Your profile says you're from the USA - it's sad that you can't even manage the only official language of your country.

  • you know what fuck you bitch what are u a fucking grammar teacher, go suck a dick you don't know what the fuck your talking about. That's why windows has a core 2 duo that's exactly the same as mac does

  • You're not exactly helping your case here.

    You're not stuck with whatever OS comes with your machine, but with a Mac you're better off sticking with OSX - with the X300 you're probably better off with a proper Linux distribution. Macs are good at what they're designed for.

    Also, somehow my previous post got mangled in editing. The sentence should read "I stated that UNIX-like operating system such as OpenBSD and Mac OSX work better than Windows under heavy loads."

  • watever

  • Ferrariz24 is a retard.

  • English isn't the official language of the U.S.A.

  • You're quite correct in that, and I'm also aware of the situation.. Ferrariz24, apparently, wasn't, judging by his explosive hissy-fit. He did provide quite excellent entertainment. ;)

    This is going way off topic, though.

  • int is right. Mac and *nix systems have better kernel supports for CPUs allowing a lot of programs to use the CPU more efficiently than Windows does.

  • NAH, YOU ARE SOMEWHAT WRONG :)

    FOR EXAMPLE GAMING IS THE MAIN USES OF WINDOWS AND THE FACT IT CAN RUN PROPER PROGRAMS!! YOU CANT WORK ON A MAC OR bsd, CAUSE IT HAS NO PROGRAMS, YOU CAN ONLY SURF ON THE WEB AND THAT STUFF ;)

  • Christ, you're either a really obvious troll or a genuine retard. Either way, I suggest you go kill yourself.

  • why am i getting hands down, i've got a lenovo y510 boooooo

  • that rules over the MacBook Air. Lets face it people, a dvd burner with a solid state hard drive, 3 usb ports, this rocks!

  • Don't forget the OPTION of being able to upgrade RAM, or replace the battery.

    Take that, Apple :P

  • lenovo and ibm had an agreement to give ibm logo to lenovo for some years so they can improve there design and now there #1 world wide for business!!! =D

  • The guy on the camera sucks :p

    But the X300 is perfect!

  • i like x300 however my ideal laptop would be 15.4 inch,

    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.4 GHz)

    4GB DDR2 System Memory

    512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

    802.11b/g WLAN and Bluetooth

    160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive + optical drive

    and not thicker than think pad x300.

    Can Lenovo do that???? hope they can, and let it be a think pad spill resistant + a track point, and let it be a tablet with wacom touch screen!!!!!!

    that is my ideal computer

    and is not here yet...:(

  • Sorry, dude, but you've just described the MacBook Pro sepcs-wise

  • I want this computer, Lenovo's are good.

  • who the hell was controlling the camera? lol

  • Before Thinkpad was sold to lenovo, it is also made in China. What I am worrying about is the quality and feature, I don't care where it was built.

  • Now hong kong does not allow a company to sell such poor quality products.

  • if it only would look better!

  • Lenovo sticks to business, they don't care if it looks new, or fancy, all they care about is performance.

  • You know, someone said that about my T60p

    IBM has had this design for WAY more than 6 years, it has been so efficient that they didn't need to change it. (other companies created crappy designs and need to change it periodically year after year... Kind of like apple).

    But now thinkpads are owned by crapovo, and I must say, I *ONLY* like IBM, not some cheap crappy chinese manufacturer. At least IBM still makes workstations, monitors, and other computer equipment.

  • IBM makes the world's fastest computer unlike cr@pple

    lol

  • I really want this laptop, seems great for university, lectures etc. I currently have an Asus but the battery life sucks unfortunately. However they are so damn expensive!!! God i wish I could get one for free. haha.

  • annoying camera view

  • the price for this unit is $2,825

  • design is 15 years old in fact, it's like a 911, same design since 40 years but pretty successful and award winning.... as for the

    AirBook for sure a nice toy, but within the businessworld...? it's about the same as wearing a ping suit to your wedding.

  • Actually, the point of the macbook air is for the business world. The reason it doesn't have much options on it is because of this. For a person that travels a lot and doesn't need all the stuff of a regular user and just wants his laptop to do his business stuff the macbook air is perfect. The lenovo is more of a balance of the two so that the regular user gets their multimedia fix yet can go anywhere do their business. Don't get me wrong, IBM is my favorite computer company.

  • Apple TRIES to create machines for businesses, but it never works out. #1 my IBM uses ECC RAM, SCSI HDD and all top-notch components, #2 Apple's machines aren't as powerful, and #3 IBM creates machines that are like iron! My IBM keyboard is 12 years old and it's not wearing out at all. I use it every day too.

    Not only that, but all the hardware apple uses was created by IBM anyhow... even chess in OSX was ripped off from the chess in IBM's OS/2 warp.

  • that and apple NEVER goes for business users... sorry... it's in the music/movie making market... sorry for you being wrong

  • too bad I compose music, design graphics (2D and 3D) and also program.

    Macs don't have good enough hardware specifications, I need lots of ports, SCSI hard drives, ECC RAM. (Apple focuses on low-end home user equipment)

    Sorry, garage band is crap; FL Studio and Cubase are for professionals.

    NASA uses IBM computers, and so do most major corporations, IBM just created the world's fastest computer; "the roadrunner," apple can't because they just use parts from other vendors.

  • fanboy alert

  • I'm not a fanboy, I just don't like crappy computers! Custom built or IBM.

  • Thats why i said that macs DONT go for business users

  • Yeah, but because IBM is tilted towards businesses, it is much better. So this is why I use IBM.

    Only home users with low-end applications need macs.

  • lol me seen ibm harddives in cr@pintoshes lol

  • Of course, Apple never seen something so good as the hard drive, and when IBM created it, Apple was quick to steal IBM technologies (I have numerous lists of what Apple stole from IBM).

    Apple hardly creates any hardware, they basically create a crappy unergonomic case, slap a few "off the shelf parts," install OSX; which has the world's worst API, and voila! The CRAPPLE.

  • It's the world's fourth largest. larger than dell or HP

  • idiot its the worlds 3rd largest, read the news.#1 is Dell, #2 is HP, #3 is Lenovo, #4 is Acer. So fuck you.

  • how about some better camera work you DUMBASS!!!

  • worse camera job ever!

    whose is holding? the camera and elephant!

    Your video makes me want to go out and buy a table and a "That 70's Show" striped shirt instead since that is all we see!

  • LOL

  • In all honesty, why the hell even if ur a SERIOUS business guy, need something like this, I mean just go for a Vaio SZ 13.3" which is perfectt, not stranious on the eye's trying to read small letters, great perforance, list goes on...Obvious choice, I mean come on, 64 gigs?? pathetic.

  • SSD is not pathetic

  • you are pathetic

  • This computer is better than your acer, hp, dell or mac book air guy.

    Don't be stupid

  • Oh god if this guy is going to hate on IBM then at least don't turn to Sony... can you get any worse then that company..

  • i guess all those CEO and chairman of the Fortune 500 companies are all fools for being so rich and powerful.... of course most of them use Thinkpads.... maybe for you having a fast turn around for service and warranty means nothing, obviously you have never dealt with a crappy aftersale and warranty support... Sony is way over priced for what it is... no break through innovation (Thinkpads/Mac) nor eye turning looks (Mac)... Sony is so passe, the only thing i would buy sony for is PSP and PS3.

  • i want it.... but too expensive.... airbook not bad in concept... but there is hardly any connectivity option... one usb, no dvd burner, no replaceable battery... what a joke... its clearly made for people who are not serious about computer, but are more fashion focused....

  • Amen, I think that's what most Mac's are about (but I like their operating system)

  • el camarografo era un ciego jaja

  • the macbook air is 1.8ghz for SSD hard drive and not 1.6ghz as u mentioned in your vid. Because if u say 1.6 then u talking of the standard macbook air which is not SSD and in pricing, they are incomparable.

  • You should really learn to spell properly.

  • this is utube; there is text character limitations so i have 2write like u know the way u write your phone messages. It doesnt really matter the spelling; as long as u get what im trying to explain. So pls disregard spellings and rather get the message/info.

  • if u're female or teenage boy,I can understand why you like macbook air.

  • CAMERA MAN, YOU SOCK!!!

  • This laptop looks pretty awesome, even though I'm not really into ultraportables. I like this more then the Macbook air for one main reason.

    It has a DVD drive.

    I don't care what people say, a laptop should always have a disk drive of some sort integrated into the machine(don't give me any external crap that destroys the purpose of a ultra portable).

    Plus, I've always been a fan of Lenovo, I'm using my 3000 N200 right now, and loving every second of it.

  • This is a great example of what steve jobs means when he says "they wouldn't make certain sacrifices".

    This thing is fucking ugly and big, if you think the macbook air is underpowered then this might as well be a pocket pc, that track pad is like 1 in. across, no dvi-out, if you think ssd is an overpriced and a waste in a machine with specs that of macbook air then what is it in this slower machine?

    This is what you get when you try and compete directly with an apple product...

  • Thanks you jesus... Someone here get's it

  • I think your Apple fanboy eyes don't let you see clearly. Thinkpads own MacBooks in almost every respect, except at being pretty.

    This is a business machine, not a "look at me, I am a lemming", one. It is pretty sturdy, with little flex, thx to the rollcage. It has more ports, an SSD, etc. When you grab the Mac Air, you feel like it's going to break in your hands, whereas this is just rock solid. Besides, allmost reviews put the Air as mediocre (not the other macs). So, I'd take this any day.
