Development
During development, the laptop was called codenamed Kodachi after the Japanese sword.[1] The design of the X300 was led by David Hill.[2]
Specifications
All ThinkPad X300s were shipped with Windows Vista Installed and were fitted with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. It had 3 USB ports.[3]
Reception
It was generally well received.[4][5][6][7][8] Notebookcheck noted that the X300 was the notebook that proved that Lenovo was a worthy successor to IBM. The X300 is the first ThinkPad without IBM branding.[9] Reviewers noted that it was lightweight and able to maintain an optical drive, which allowed it to be compared favourably to other models like the X200.[10][11] It was often compared to the Apple MacBook Air for being thin, light and using Sold State Storage.[12][13][14][15] These comparisons led to the X300 being placed into an interoffice mailing envelope like the MacBook Air and led to the creation of a commercial showcasing this comparison.[16][2][17] The X300 was noted for being an expensive device with base configurations starting at $2,476USD.[18][19][20]
The X300 was featured as the coverstory of the February 2008 issue of Business Week Magazine.[21] It was also the primary subject in the book "The race for perfect: inside the quest to design the ultimate portable computer" by Steve Hamm.[2]
