Lenovo ThinkPad X1
The technology press has lumped Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 into a growing category of Macbook Air competitors, but now that I've used one for awhile, I can tell you it doesn't really belong there. Though the X1 is the thinnest ThinkPad ever, it is still considerably thicker and heavier than Apple's razor-thin laptop. This isn't to say that it's thick or heavy (it isn't) or that it is inferior to the Air or other superslim laptops like the Samsung Series 9. It's just a different product for a different market: business travelers who like to travel light.
