Each is effective in their own ways. Bond's a metro and is always concerned about how he looks and is always looking to score with chicks (overcompensating for sure).

I prefer the X300, even though it may not look as sleek as the Air. Big John prefers the Air, although it's not as functionable as the X300. He just wants it, not because it's better on paper, but because he desires it.

Quit being a dick about it, Jon. That's why he's Big John and you're a nobody, literally.]]>Feb 16th 2008 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/
When I say design, I'm talking about when I LOOK at the laptop. The battery, USB etc. aren't what I'm taking into account here. Since you brought it up though...

The battery I could care less about (4:30 average battery life for me, little less with a lot of YouTubing going on and WHO CARES ABOUT IT BEING USER REPLACEABLE). The USB... huh? I rarely have to plug in a USB device to my laptop for my daily use. Sometimes a flash drive, that's about it. If I had a need to plug tons of devices in, the Air isn't the laptop for me. Ability to upgrade... whatever. The last laptop I had lasted me about three years with no RAM/HDD upgrades. Not too worried about this one doing the same.

Thank you for enlightening me, though.

On the LOOK (sorry, apparently the word design doesn't fly) -- I'm sorry but the eraser-nub mouse? What is this, 1996? The X300 isn't exactly a looker, with the rest of the ThinkPad line. Some people like it, others don't.]]>Feb 16th 2008 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/Feb 16th 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/

I had about $2,000 saved up for a new laptop since I realized a little under a year ago that my old Dell was starting to circle the drain. I switched to Mac in Feb '07 and knew I wanted a Mac laptop. It would have been foolish to buy a laptop mid-December (when I had saved up the money I wanted) so I waited for MacWorld. I figured on getting a MB or MBP with the spec upgrade but didn't really expect the Air to fit so well. Instead of having some money left over, I got the Air.

I'm comfortable with my purchase choice, thanks.]]>Feb 16th 2008 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/Feb 16th 2008 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/
I'm afraid I favor some other models more, for obvious reasons. As a lenovo employee, I hope you can give that data to the people that need to hear it.

Or you know, start up your own ideastorm-like thing. Listening to customers works wonders.]]>Feb 16th 2008 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/

Do not change the Thinkpad! It is classic and even though generation hipster, we want form over function, a lot of people like the design and love the rock solid build.

It draws out the "MacBook Air is a horrible piece of crap" crowd in droves. Hell, just look at the comments here. They're mostly about the MBA and the comparison of the X300 to it."

This coming from the guy who makes one of the first Pro-MBA/Anti-Lenovo related comments: "Best reason for an Air? The design. ThinkPads appeal to the business crowd but for people like me, the Air is king." I'm sorry, how is that related to the article in any way? Please don't answer, I need you to meet my friends Pot and Kettle first.

I prefer the x61 with an updated processor if all else right now from Lenovo and I prefer a MacBook Pro from Apple.

If I could get what I want from Apple, it'd be a 13.3 inch MacBook Pro and throw an SSD drive in there just for slickness.]]>Feb 16th 2008 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/15/lenovos-x300-gets-splayed-in-detail/
And yes the Air is Garbage, it was a dissapointment. Spend the extra $200 and get a Mac Book Pro people, it's a way nicer machine, way more features... And is a little bigger (talking about the 15" here), but damn you get a good machine, with some functionality.

I see the MacBook Pro more as a X5 or an M Class if you say a MacBook Air is a covertible. How dare you call one of the best laptops out a freaking minivan?!]]>Feb 16th 2008 2:23PM
