MacBook Heir? Lenovo X300 is everywhere this week
Thanks to specs that match up nicely to the MacBook Air–it also fits in an interoffice envelope–Lenovo’s still unannounced X300 ultraportable got a lot of press this week culminating in a February 25 cover story in BusinessWeek. Prior to that, The Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg posted his first impressions. My take on the Lenovo X300 is here.
