The ThinkPad Takes On The MacBook Air
An anonymous reader writes "Walt Mossberg has an early look at the ThinkPad X300, Lenovo's answer to the MacBook Air. He says the ThinkPad is almost as skinny and light as the Air, but has many of the ports and features lacking on Apple's machine. The biggest downside: it costs much more and will be limited to a paltry 64 gigabytes of storage. 'Unlike the Apple, which can be ordered with a higher-capacity, lower-priced hard disk, the new ThinkPad will only be available with the expensive, limited capacity solid-state drive. So it will start at between $2,500 and $2,800-up to $1,000 more than the Apple's base price.'"
And yet, somehow it's still just as ugly as every other Thinkpad.
"Tell me doctor, with all of your defenses, are there any provisions for an attack by killer bees?"
DISCLAIMER:
This Slashdot comments page will be full with nonsense plain old Apple Fanboiism criticizing every aspect of the computer, ranging from the fact that it's not as thin/pretty/cool/whatever as the Macbook Air, to the fact that it's simply not an Apple product, and thus, not worth anything.
Please remember to just laugh at these comments, and by all means, avoid feeding the trols.
Thank you.
W2K stripped down lets me play the few games I enjoy, run eclipse, and waste time on the internet. Plus, I can re-install as often as I like. Someday I'll move to Linux...probably when I can run the latest Civilization game on it.
Blar.
You're leaving out the "-that-no-one-cares-to-watch" on the end of the "make-a-home-video"
If you're capable of passing judgment on the worth of the lives of others, yet too cowardly to log in to do so, does that make you more or less worthwhile than the parent?

2-way AthlonMP 2800+ old! I suppose when the budget allows for an upgrade I will have an OS decision to make.
Blar.
