Title: Lenovo ThinkPad X300
Pros: Very slim, light yet full-featured. Has most everything the road warrior needs. Resolution is higher than average, which means you see more on-screen. Keyboard is excellent in the ThinkPad tradition of desktop-like keyboards with long travel and lots of t
Cons: Expensive. Battery life isn't great. Display isn't very bright and doesn't look as good as competing LED backlit displays on the market.
Verdict: The Lenovo ThinkPad is very slim and light, yet it makes relatively few concessions in terms of features-- an applaudable feat. The machine has plenty of basic ports (no HDMI, S-Video or FireWire-- but that would be asking an awful lot) and an internal DV
Summary: The ThinkPad X300's biggest problem is the MacBook Air, which set a new standard for impossibly thin and good looking ultralight notebooks. The design philosophy is at first look very similar: make it usable with a 13" display rather than something tiny l

Title: Lenovo ThinkPad T61p
Pros: Ultra-wideband capability; strong all-round performance
Cons: Dull styling
Verdict: It's not the greatest looker in the world but its ultra-wideband support sets it out from the crowd. That may not be much use at the moment -- thanks to the lack of devices -- but it's good for future proofing, especially if you like your laptops well bui
Summary: This business-oriented laptop is built like a tank, using some pretty potent components so it's no surprise it boasts impressive performance. Not only that, it's also the first machine to come with an ultra-wideband chip

Title: Lenovo ThinkPad R61
Pros: The Lenovo ThinkPad R61 has a wide-screen display; an internal roll cage protects the LCD; 802.11n Wi-Fi; dedicated graphics; very small AC adapter.
Cons: New Centrino technology doesn't offer outsize performance gains.
Summary: The IBM blueprint is still evident in the Lenovo ThinkPad R61, but the addition of a wide-screen display and all the latest Centrino Duo tricks make this a ThinkPad that could woo home users along with its legion of fans among business travelers.
