Lenovo has hammered another nail into the 4:3 laptop display coffin with the quiet removal of its standard ratio T61 from its online store. It means that all of the company’s mainstream notebooks - whether in the ThinkPad, IdeaPad or 3000-series lines - are only available with widescreen LCDs. The X61 - in Lenovo’s ultraportable range [...]
Lenovo probably wouldn’t admit it, but you get the impression they’re quite pleased with how they managed to crash the ultraportable party. Apple’s achingly-thin MacBook Air seemingly had just scant moments to enjoy the limelight, before leaked details of Lenovo’s own, Windows based rebuke, the X300, started to turn up. Before long, the [...]
The U8 MID prototype Lenovo have been flaunting lately is, frankly, lovely, and Josh Bancroft was lucky enough to get some serious hands-on time with the device - and the Aigo MID - at Intel’s Mobility Software Enabling Lab this week. Comparing the Lenovo MID to a prototype MID device we’ve seen in photos before, [...]

So far it has received GREENGUARD certification, an EPEAT Gold rating, and an Energy Star 4.0 rating. It is made, at least partly, from recycled materials and received the first GREENGUARD certification of any desktop only after undergoing stringent testing for up to 2000 different chemical emissions.
Lenovo’s much-vaunted ThinkPad X300 is being hailed in some circles as the ultraportable to oust the MacBook Air, and a major chunk of its charm is the use of a Solid State Drive (SSD) rather than a traditional drive that can be subject to knocks and jolts. Samsung provided the SATA II SSD used, with [...]
Road warriors, mobility geeks, and little elf, the lightweight ultra-portable X300 has finally arrived. Lenovo is now taking orders of the “MacBook Air” competitor, a 13.3” thin and light laptop.
Overall Mr. Mossberg seems quite pleased with the X300 and more or less says that even for the steep price it may very well be worth it. Really, he only has a slight indifference with the battery life, but his only major complaint when compairing it to the MacBook Air is that he says the [...]
