Intel Opens Door for Army of MacBook Air Clones
Muffled by the cacophony of like a million netbooks and the wireless power that'll power our cyborg brains at the Intel Developer Forum was the low-key introduction of Intel's next-gen 45nm dual core chips for ultra-thin notebooks—i.e., the dwarven chips that made the MacBook Air possible. Now that everybody can snag them, expect a surge of similarly limber notebooks that can suck in their gut to fit into narrow pockets of ugly paper. More »

Rumor: New Dell Inspirons Take Shot At Macbook Air, Lenovo X300
While Apple and Lenovo may have started the latest thin laptop trend, Engadget reports that Dell is entering the ring with their Inspiron 1435, 1535 and 1735. The three laptops are said to share a similar design, with a graduated thickness from 1 to about 1.5 inches. With processors up to Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz, each model will support optional 3G and slot-loading Blu-ray. It sounds good so far, but we'll have to see how competitively they are priced if/when the first of the models hits later this month. [Engadget] -

Lenovo Parodies MacBook Air Ad For X300
Most parody videos are lame in the sense that they take one joke and stretch it to 60 seconds, but Lenovo's one joke actually works when properly executed. Not to spoil anything, but it's a send-up of the MacBook Air in favor of Lenovo's own X300. According to Fake Steve, it's been sent around to component suppliers and contract manufacturers in China, no doubt eliciting much har hars as they forward it on to their friends. [Fake Steve - Thanks Dave!]

Lenovo's Entire New ThinkPad Line Leaked, X300 Gets Siblings

All of their lines are seeing a major refresh, but the biggest news is that starting this September, the famous X300 will have a family.

Lenovo's Official X300 Comparison vs. MacBook Air Shows Why It's Better For Business Dudes
You saw the 5 takes on the Lenovo X300, the X300 benchmarked vs. the MacBook Air, and even Mossberg's review, but what does Lenovo think about the comparisons between the two laptops? Well, obviously, they think their machine is better, but the reasons given for why it's better appeals to Lenovo's core audience—the traveling corporate worker—and not the MacBook Air's core audience, weaklings who like shiny laptops. Hit the jump for a big version of the image and realize that these two aren't really competing for the same credit cards. [Thanks Justin!] -

5 Takes On the Lenovo ThinkPad X300
After Apple stole the show with their amazing Macbook Air, it was easy to overlook Lenovo's announcement of their own 0.73 inch thick, 3ish pound laptop—that, by the way, features a 13.3-inch display, 64GB SSD, DVD burner, EVDO, WiMax, GPS, 3 USB ports, and a blessed swappable battery. More »

Lenovo X300 Benchmarked Versus MacBook Air
Although Mossberg's Lenovo X300 vs. MacBook Air fight compared things like weight, portability, inputs and functionality, it didn't compare the thing that power users care about—performance—in absolute numbers. Notebook Review did. In their CPU benchmark, the Air finished the test in 68 seconds while the X300 took an almost double the time at 118 seconds. Things flipped around when they tried another benchmark. More »

First Video Walkthrough of the Lenovo X300
Laptop Mag posted this nice little tour of the Lenovo X300. Looks great, covering so many of those shortcomings of the Apple Airbook, at the cost of more girth. The guy in the video hefts it around, making it implicitly clear that it is not nearly as thin as the Air, but what's a few more millimeters? The bigger issue for me will be Windows Vista. A Mac OS X powered Lenovo x300 is the magic unicorn I want to ride. Professionally. Just saying. [Laptop Mag] -

Backstory and Teardown of the Lenovo X300 (Components By Weight!)
Here's an interesting bit: The Lenovo x300 almost had the old IBM butterfly keyboard of old. This detail and others were revealed in a Businessweek cover story on the ultrathin, quickly being recognized as the antithesis to the Apple Air. The piece has a lot of other interesting background, like the above info graphic of a teardown with weight for each component. Also, it nearly had a 10-inch screen.
