Even the new thinnest Thinkpad is 3000 bucks and it doesn’t compare to the MacBook Air.

Are you high? The new X300 Thinkpad smokes the MacBook Air in ever category. Fanboys are funny.

Here’s a comparison on a Mac Fanboy website. http://lowendmac.com/mail/0801mb/0122.html#1

Excerpt... “This is one seriously superior machine to Apple’s offering. The Apple has only two advantages: it’s 4 mm thinner (does anyone care?), and it runs Mac OS X. In every other respect it will be vastly outclassed by Lenovo’s latest.

I think my MacBook is wonderful, but I’m looking for a new machine that saves a couple pounds. Lenovo seems to have figured out the formula. Why can’t Apple?”

I thought the new Thinkpad’s processor speed was only 1.2ghz. Am I wrong?

Except maybe for the fact that it's not even on the market yet. And as far as ultra-portables go, it'll be relatively much thicker, it'll still be flimsy plastic, and it'll only be available at a very high price point due to SSD as the only storage option.

I fix laptops and smoke is a bad sign.
