Finally, a functional thin laptop. As much as I loved my macbook, macbook air is just a fancy gadget for me IMHO. Lenovo x300 seems to be a better one. Removable Battery, 3 usb port, DVD Drive, Ethernet, Those are essentials which macbook air left out.

I plan to get one, but waiting for a version of the x300 that comes with a regular HD. Hopefully, that'll bring down the cost to a more reasonable level.
why do people want these "thin" laptops? they are all a waste of money for christ sake. Seriously, just taking .5'' off makes the price go up $1000. its rediculous

thin is easier to fit in a briefcase. The big selling point for the air is obvious in that picture. It's thinner closed than the bottom half of the x300.
There's a fair number of people who prefer thin to full featured. It's obvious, because apple can't keep the airs in stock.

I would rather get the MacBook Air.
But thats just me, since I have no use of an internal DVD drive. Plus I simply love Mac OS X, which can't be legally run on the X300.
I'm a huge Mac fan (using one to type this post). I hate the macbook air. I can deal without the internal dvd drive. The required extra usb ethernet adapter...annoying but livable. The battery is what scares me. If you are seriously considering the Air, I would give it a little more time and let some of the early adopters figure out if there issues with that battery. I have to imagine if that battery starts losing charge life the cost of replacing it is huge.

If you're interested in turning the x300 into a hackintosh, this might be a good place to start reading. Main Page - OSx86

I said Legal. Mac OS X can't legally be run on non-Apple branded computers.
Illegal activities are not discussed around here...

That certainly depends.
Those looking for a MacBook Air or X300 want a highly portable computer, which is easy to cary around. They might not consider a "big" MacBook Pro at all...
