Lenovo has given Apple an object lesson in how a thin and light notebook should be designed and constructed. The ThinkPad X300 is stuffed full of cutting edge features, is svelte and light enough to be carried around every day and boasts the sleek, minimalist looks that ThinkPad users love. It may be expensive, but this is a truly great notebook to use - the keyboard is first rate, the solid state drive makes for very swift operation, while you also get all the connectivity you could ever want. If there's one thing that lets the package down, it's the uneven lighting on the LED backlight screen - it's not awful, but it's not up to the standard of the rest of the machine. If it wasn't for the screen issue, the ThinkPad X300 would have grabbed Editor's Choice, but as it stands it gets a resounding Recommended award.

Excellent review as usual Riyad!

I am hopefully not alone in enjoying your Thinkpad enthusiasm (typing this on my T61) - I managed to get a X300 into the lap of one of my senior management, and he is over the moon with it. I couldn't hide my enthusiasm when unboxing it and setting it up! Quite unseemly for someone my age :)

My enthusiasm for this notebook still stands, which is probably why I'm writing this comment using my own ThinkPad X300 :)

That said, I was checking back over this review because I've got my paws on the new Samsung notebooks, and I have to admit that they're very nice.
