NEW DELHI: Apple MacBook Air, launched last month, finally has an official challenger from the Chinese PC manufacturer Lenovo.

The company has launched their ThinkPad X300 ultra-portable machine. The notebook weighs 2.93 pounds (base model) and boasts of more features than Apple MacBook Air.

Lenovo has equipped this notebook with three USB ports and DVD Writer, in comparison to MacBook Air's one USB port and no writer.

The laptop measures 0.73 inches at its thinnest point and 0.92 inches at its thickest point, bigger in comparison to MacBook Air, which measures 0.16 inches at its thinnest part and 0.76 inches at its thickest part.

lol. not even a single reply that says anything about Lenovo's lappy for which the thread has created.

Brand value of Apple, whether it's negative or positive. People love to comment on the apple product.

IMHO, X300 is 100 times better than Macbook Air. It's not the thickness that is important, it's the power and performance-per-buck that is important. :)
