Since the No. 1 reason I didn't buy the MBA is because of its lack of oomph (compared to my current 2.4GHz MB), the X300 is out of the question for me. The Envy is very nice, and if I had to choose one piece of hardware, I might actually pick that over the MBA. Unfortunately, Envy won't run my OS of choice so I guess I'll just have to wait for an upgrade to the MBA.]]>Jun 10th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/Jun 10th 2008 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/

Personally, I'd buy the Air, because I've enjoyed my time with Mac a lot, and my MBP is rather noticeable when lugging it around all day in a backpack.

Looks ? It's a tie for MBA and the Envy 133 IMO.

But I'd go for the Envy 133 if I have the cash. ]]>Jun 10th 2008 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/

Give me a smaller screen with a smaller footprint, say 12" and scrap the ultimate in thin for a built in DVD. Give me more storage and screw the ultra expensive SSD.

the ssd is 64gb. the price may be misleading however because there is a 80 gb hdd available. i am betting that the price as shown is for the 80 gb hdd and not the 64 gb ssd. everyone should expect the ssd to be the same $1000 option that it is for everyone else.]]>Jun 10th 2008 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/
For just $300 more, you get an additional USB port, an included optical drive, the removable battery, A SOLID STATE DRIVE, and the voodoo name. Don't underestimate the Voodoo name, the Apple brand is getting a little diluted considering how many people at Starbucks have one and how many students are going Mac - Voodoo is like the Ferrari of the computing world, owning one puts you at the epitome of coolness that Apple can't deliver anymore. This puts it clearly in the lead against Apple for people who want pure perfornance close to the MBA's cost. For pure cost, Apple is better - a lot of people aren't going to care about the SSD or any of that and OS X is still better than Windows, which is why Apple is still competitive here and Voodoo does not have a clear lead for all users.

Against the X300 though, you get what you pay for since they're at different price points. Lighter, denser screen, more USB, internal drive, Lenovo quality and support, but you pay for it.

So, kudos to Voodoo, assuming it ends up with good battery life in the reviews and all that.]]>Jun 10th 2008 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/x300-vs-envy-133-vs-macbook-air-fight/
1) It is far superior
2) PC's are way overpriced
3) You pay a premium for the IBM name

1) a removable battery
2) more connection options including HDMI and E-SATA
3) a laptop which is just as easy to carry around
4) boots up quicker
5) has an SSD
6) and looks better.
