IBM came up with a true competitor to Apple’s Macbook Air with it’s Lenovo ThinkPad X300. Featuring a 13.3 inch display with 1440 by 900 resolution and a 64GB solid state drives (An SSD comes standard with Lenovo’s machine) the X300 really packs a punch.

My favourite aspect of this laptop is its shock resistance. The keyboard is spill resistant, and the textured carbon and glass-fibre exterior is supposed to protect the innards.

Even if its an ultraportable laptop it manage to slot in a DVD drive, it also has three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA-out port for an external display, a webcam, headphone and microphone jacks, and an ethernet port.

All I have to say is: Good work IBM
