It is being marketed against the Mac Air. My Lenovo rep says that's the only reason for its existence. Doesn't think it will sell much to enterprises who recognize its shortcomings. ________________________________________ Robert Rosen Chief Information Officer National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases National Institutes of Health US Department of Health and Human Services Tel: 301-451-6525 E-Mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ________________________________ ------------------------------

Sounds good though not as light as the X300/X301, price is lighter though (pricing starts at U$1585, on sale U$1199 and all I did was go to Lenovo.com, no coupon or anything). -- Up to 2nd generation Intel? Core? i5 -- Up to Genuine Windows? 7 Professional 64-bit -- Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows? 7, with optional RapidDrive -- Starting at 3.7 pounds -- Up to 10 hours with slice battery -- 13.3" HD SuperBright LCD -- Up to 8GB integrated DDR3 SDRAM -- Up to 160GB SSD (optional 320GB HDD) I'm wondering if this will turn out to be the perfect size machine, or if it will be hurt by the X220 (12.5") from below and T420s (3.9lb) from above. I haven't done a detailed spec comparison but I have the awful feeling that I'll either end up with an X220 (to maintain my X300's weight) or T420s (to get more power). "Awful" because I've wanted another 13.3" Thinkpad for so long (there are worse ways to be "awful" :)). -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
