Very Good

Lenovo’s ThinkPad series is known for being among the best in laptops for home and business use, with crisp widescreen displays, plenty of memory and hard drive space, above-average durability, and multiple connectivity options. The ThinkPad X300 is no exception.

The X300’s processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo L7100, running at 1.2 GHz, and when combined with its 2 GB of memory you can run your home or business applications easily and smoothly. The video card is integrated, so you won't be able to run your first person shooters on the X300, but that's not its core competency. For some business users, that's a good thing, since you should be working, right?

For networking, your options are nearly limitless, with a Gigabit network card, that also does 802.11 a, b, and g. If security is key, the ThinkPad X300 has a built-in fingerprint reader, so you and only you can access your stuff.

The ThinkPad X300 is another in a long line of nearly perfect laptops, worthy of your hard-earned money. If you’ve changed your mind, and decided on a powerful desktop computer, check out our gaming and multimedia computer reviews. At TopTenREVIEWS, we do the research so you don’t have to.

The ThinkPad X300 is an expensive piece of kit but it’s a superb laptop that is well worth the asking price. Yes, it costs the best part of two grand. Yes, that is a very high price, but you really ought to get your hands on an X300 for a test drive....

This little machine is amazing, i was worried that with a 1.2GHz CPU it would feel sluggish, but due to the 4MB cache and SSD the majority of the time it feels just as fast as my T7500 based laptop, however if you do a lot of video/image processing then...
