Lenovo today announced the ThinkPad X301 notebook PC, taking
the thinnest and lightest full-function notebook in its class,
to new heights in performance. Like its predecessor, the industry-acclaimed ThinkPad X300 notebook, the ThinkPad X301 notebook offers cutting-edge
features and technologies in a thin and light form starting at less
than three pounds and one-inch thin. The notebook offers even greater
storage capacity with choices of either 64 GB or new 128 GB solid state
drive storage available in September. The ThinkPad X301 notebook provides
on average nearly 20 percent better performance over the ThinkPad X300
notebook due to the latest DDR3 memory and the latest Intel
Core 2 Duo ultra low volt processor.
“Lenovo continues to
push the technology envelope by giving road warriors the latest enhancements
in solid state drive storage and digital display technologies with the
new ThinkPad X301 notebook PC,” said Khoo Hung Chuan, Country Manager,
Enterprise Business, Lenovo Malaysia. “This announcement extends our
commitment to blending ultraportability and functionality, and equipping
today’s business users with the most advanced, highest-performing
computing tools.”
New support for DisplayPort
makes viewing high definition content easy and ideal for models with
the ultra-thin DVD burner. With support for both DisplayPort and VGA,
users can even watch high definition content on multiple displays. Designed
for maximum options for wireless connectivity, the ThinkPad X301 notebook
offers models with high-speed mobile broadband and WiFi to connect wirelessly to the Internet, and also
with Bluetooth and Ultra-Wideband technology to connect wirelessly to
other devices.
The notebook also includes
Lenovo’s ThinkVantage Technologies, unique hardware-software tools
designed to maximize user productivity. With Lenovo’s improved Access
Connections tool, users can navigate a user-friendly interface to easily
find and access Internet and network connections. Also, Lenovo’s improved
Power Manager gives users more control over notebook functions to enable
longer battery life.
The ThinkPad X301 notebook
also continues Lenovo’s focus on environmentally-responsible design.
Its 13.3-inch LED backlit display, solid state drive storage and other
energy-efficient technologies help make it rated Gold by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment
Tool. This designation adds
to Lenovo’s portfolio of Gold-rated ThinkPad notebook and ThinkCentre
desktop PCs.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing for models of
the ThinkPad X301 notebook starts at approximately RM8,700. The notebook
will be available from August 27 through Lenovo Business Partners and www.lenovo.com.
