This has been my dream laptop since I first heard it was being built/released. It was everything I wanted in a notebook; Thin, Lightweight, Gigabit, Optical Drive, and of course a Thinkpad. Lenovo certainly did deliver with this rock solid piece of awesome! Sure its not pretty like the macbook air, but damnit it has the Thinkpad keyboard and more than what the air has to offer. Lenovo ran a black friday special on the x300 and I could not yield to the impulse buy with $300 off. A week later I got my new baby!

I just cant believe how thin and how friggin light this laptop is! That, and how eerily silent it is. When i first powered it on was expecting something, but since it has a 64GB SSD drive there was nothing, no noise. Occasionally the CPU fan comes on, but you can barely hear it.
Its kind of funny, im still not use to having a SSD drive, I still pick the laptop up easy and set it down easy and keep having to remind myself its ok to be a little more rough on it. as far as gaming on the x300 goes, I have yet to test it out. It has an integrated

x3100 Intel chipset, however I read one review that a person installed steam and ran counter strike source on low settings. Which is fine. If it can do that I will be fine. If not meh. This is more for work than gaming. That is what my tower is for. Overall I love this laptop, even if i am having to get a good deal on it for the next 6 months. LOL
