Not even ten days after its world premiere, we got the chance to test the new Lenovo portable PC which is going to be sold on the market under the ThinkPad X300 tag. As you might have already guessed, the tested sample was not meant to be sold, but only introduced to IT reporters and Lenovo partners so that they can get to know it better. Although we are used to samples being different from retail versions, the word “sample” must be taken very loosely in context.
The testing sample we received was more of a demonstration of the concept and construction quality. There are several differences between this version and the final one, two of which are major. The Lenovo X300 only had an empty slot instead of an optical drive, and data storage was “supervised” by a classic HDD, not an SSD, as stated in the final version specs.
