Today Lenovo launches its latest laptop – the X301. The X301 succeeds its lesser brother, the X300 with just a few minor tweaks here and there. The ultrathin laptop is Lenovo’s response to the MacBook Air and sports the following specs:
- ultra-low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor (1.2 and 1.4 GHz flavors)
- 128 GB SSD (Solid State Drive)
- 13.3″ backlit screen
- 3G connectivity for AT&T subscribers
- optional WiMAX (when Xohm available from Sprint)
- integrated GPS
- Bluetooth & WiFi connectivity (of course – that stuff is standard nowadays!)
- up to 2GB of DDR3
The ThinkPad X301 also adds the display interface DisplayPort – allowing the laptop to output in 2560×1600 resolution and up to 2 monitors, without any addons.
The ThinkPad X301 may not be as visually aesthetic as Apple’s MacBook Air, but it does have many more bells and whistles for the same price. The esitmated retail price for this notebook is $2,599, starting August 26th.
