Lenovo X300

Outside China, where it has home field advantage, Lenovo is in no rush to sell volumes of low-end PCs. For its export markets, the company plans to concentrate for some time to come on hawking its high-end models like the newly introduced, and roughly MacBook Air-skinny, X300 notebook--those products that it says show "the spirit of innovation." That thinking will also determine how and when Lenovo might come out with a laptop based on Intel's Atom processor.

Look! A laptop small and thin enough to fit into a standard size business envelope! Amazing! What an innovative marketing campaign. Why hasn't anyone thought to do this before?

More so, does anyone remember the original Sony VAIO 505? The AirBook is just a repeat of that super-thin laptop with a larger screen.

Oh wait, that's already been do too! Anyone remember the Toshiba Portege R100? That one had a 12" screen (the airbook has 13") but the Toshiba was thinner (0.65" for the Toshiba versus 0.76" for the Apple). Neither the Toshiba or the Apple has a DVD/CDR drive.

Can someone tell me the big deal about the AirBook?
