I think it's more about overlap with the X200.

I almost got a X300 last year when it was on sale for $1200.. but I just recently bought myself a t410 that I've been using for about the past 3 months.. I'm coming from an Apple notebook and this Thinkpad is honestly better than anything I've ever used. sometimes I wish I bought the X200 instead but I really like what I have.]]>Jul 15th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/
Hate me, I'm just telling ya what my experience is.

This here ThinkPad R500 I got from work is chunky, heavy, creaky and ugly. Besides that I hate that freaking "red-dot-stick" and them big ass ugly mouse buttons. Make the touchpad bigger. The keyboard light is a bad joke and the non-symmetric screen position is killing me. How could somebody WANT that?

The whole thing sucks performance wise, either. Besides, I have never seen a ThinkPad that made me actually want one.

HATE ME THINKPAD FANBOIS, HATE ME!!]]>Jul 15th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/Don't compare R and T series.
R - means ugly and cheap ]]>Jul 15th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/
They're basically replacing all of their IBM joint designs that they used to have with cheap consumer toys dressed like ThinkPads. R series is dead. X series is dying and will most likely resemble the L, SL and the edge soon, which are glorified consumer units. The only models they're not messing with are the T and W, but hope you got $1000+ if you want a decent performer.

People say this every time new Thinkpads come out, but my x200 is way better than my flexy IBM T42, which also had a major motherboard design flaw. And the T42 was $1800 while my x200 was only $1200. The T, X, and W series look great.]]>Jul 15th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/
Either way, the X301 was too big, compared to the X201 anyway. If the X301 was a 12" screen, and a bit lighter, there would be a place in the lineup for it.]]>Jul 15th 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/
X201: Core i5, average screen and platters - $1400

The X201 should be the "replacement" for the X301, not the T400.]]>Jul 15th 2010 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/
I somewhat agree with you. The x301 was our ultraportable laptop we deploy here at work. They are great. The x201 is going to fit most needs that the x301 did. The x201 also comes in tablet form as well.

However, we have a "requirement" for an optical drive for some users. The x201 lacks it. ]]>Jul 15th 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/Jul 15th 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/Jul 15th 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/Jul 15th 2010 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/well but the t410s is sooooo close to the x301 why have both in the programe.

The X300 series was an excellent range. Overpriced, especially lately when you compare the hardware specs which i dont think have changed for a while. Also the lack of a docking station for a business grade notebook doesnt cut it (to me a usb based port replicator is not the same).]]>Jul 15th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/Jul 15th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-series-to-be-phased-out-replaced-by-t400-t/
