With a 13.3-inch backlit-LED display and full-size keyboard, Lenovo's ThinkPad X300 represents a significant step forward for the ThinkPad line. Our review unit, stocked with a DVD burner and six-cell extended battery, weighs 3.4 pounds. At its lightest, with a six-cell battery and an empty optical drive bay, the ThinkPad X300 weighs just 2.9 pounds.
