Will the Lenova x300 finally give Apple's MacBook Air a run for it's money? I'm going to review both and we'll see which one stands out in the air light laptop race. This field is beginning to really heat up with manufacturers rushing to get out their little air light laptops. There has been a rash of MacBook Air vs Lenovo ThinkPad X300 reviews lately, so what I think I'm going to do is just run down the list for you and let you pick your own MacBook Air vs Lenovo ThinkPad x300 review.

First up in Engadget's comparison fight between both the MacBook Air and Lenova X300. The winner in Edgadgets comparison between the two little air lights is Lenovo. You'll find this is true for most of the comparion's. The X300 just has more features than the MacBook Air. But lets go on and see what other reviews had to say about these two.

If you really want to see why the MacBook Air lags behind the Lenova X300, here is a funny Video whic describes the problem quite well.



That pretty much explains the problem. You get an ultra thin laptop, but you pay by not having all the basic's that a laptop should have.

Even BusinessWeek got into the act of comparing the two tiny laptops. They did an excellent job of bringing up the point that both the MacBook Air and X300 were aimed at different audiences. But they did acknowledge that the X300 has more features.

For those of you who love the Wall Street Journal and follow Walt Mossberg, he has a full fledged review of the X300 where he compares it to the MacBook Air. Winner, X300 due to all the features for business people and consumers.

Tom's Hardware has an in-depth feature per feature comparison between the air weight laptops. He also make some very good points as to why the MacBook air is outfitted the way it is and why the ThinkPad X300 is outfitted the way it is.

MacNewsWorld also put the two tiny laptops head to head and this is their findings. They make the great point that while the X300 isn't near as sexy or gorgeous as the MacBook Air, it has more features.
