Superlight Black Brick: Lenovo ThinkPad x300

The Lenovo ThinkPad x300 looks like the MacBook Air re-imagined by an engineering team. It's a smidge heavier and slightly smaller or slightly larger depending upon the dimension you're measuring. It won't turn heads as you stride through the terminal, but it does include the features that are conspicuously absent from the shiny, skinny competitor -- removable battery, multiple USB ports -- with a screen that's every bit as roomy, plus the legendary solid build that keeps ThinkPad users coming back from more.

  • Weight: 3.1 lbs.
  • Screen size: 13"
  • Dimensions: 11.6" x 8.3" x 0.73"
  • Wireless: 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Wi-Max, Wireless USB
  • Priced from: $2,268
  • Grab it if: You're willing to pay for top-notch performance
  • Skip it if: You want something with more style than the black brick
