Mossberg Reviews the Lenovo X300 Vs. MacBook Air

Posted by kdawson on from the cage-match dept.

genji256 writes "Adding to his first impressions, Walt Mossberg has published a full review of the soon-to-come Lenovo X300. As a bottom line he 'recommends the X300 for road warriors without hesitation, provided they can live with its two biggest downsides: a relatively paltry file-storage capacity and a hefty price tag.' Gizmodo lists all the comparisons with the MacBook Air that Walt inevitably makes. Final score: it's a tie, though certain points are arguable ('Doesn't use Mac OS X Leopard. Winner: MacBook Air')."

  1. Actually, running OS X is a fair point by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The Macbook Air can run OS X, Windows or Linux, while the X300 can only run Windows or Linux. It's not the old days of simply Windows OR OS X, now you can have on that'll do both, although I wouldn't put Vista on the Air as that'll suck up about 1/3 of the disk.

    Oh shit, I'm sorry for my dumbass sarcastic remark. My tongue can be a bit sharper at times than I'd like. I had a brain fart -- I think my problem had something to do with either the fact that I deleted the EFI partition or that I left the disk with a GUID partition table. Not sure which, but it was my own stupid fault.
