The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is marketed as a "Macbook Air killer", although the claims have not been substantiated. The striking similarity between the two laptops are their size - the X300 is less than 0.75 inches thick and weighs only 2.9 pounds. The X300 has an optional DVD drive and an built-in ethernet port (unlike the Macbook Air)
