Back then Lenovo made a really good parody of the original MacBook Air ad ( [LINK] ), showing the advantages of their ThinkPad X300: [VIDEO]

Hrm, that's what I feared. I was a proud owner of a [0] before this one, but even the Core i520M slowly gets…slow, especially one of the newer graphics chips would be wonderful sometimes. [0] [VIDEO]

Single connector, but not single adapter. Daisy chaining also seems error prone. If all the adapters you have to take with you weigh 400g, you haven't really gained anything. Also, having to reattach everything all the time seems like a hassle if you have a lot of external devices to connect(is there a Macbook dock?). This ad satire is about the Air, but i think it sums up me reservations perfectly: [VIDEO]
