In about 3-6 months (as per contract) Lenovo will come out with theirs. It will have an Ethernet connection and will also have a DVD slim drive built in. |

I'd like to see some evidence that it's built by Lenovo. Furthermore, where did they happen to fit the DVD drive? Unless they make it thicker or there is some overnight revolution in the size of the components being used, there is no room for an optical drive with the current design.

| Ron Paul and a Mac FanBoi...go figure.
Check the specs of the x300, then wait for the next one the x330 and x360 (or x400) depending on the date of release.
The optical drive (a dvd burner) is 7mm and there is a 4mm drive in test right now.
Now to cook you little noodle of MacFandom...check out the Lenovo original layout which predates the Mac by about a year...and glory be it's the same layout that the Mac Air is using...why? They licensed it for that little Mac.
Now ask yourself, why did Mac go Intel inside...innovation in architecture on the Intel camp.

| Please provide proof.
If you're saying the MacBook Air is built using many of the same components of other manufacturers, fine. But I still doubt your claim that Lenovo is manufacturing laptops for Apple, primarily because you have provided no proof thus far, but also because Apple has used other system builders for previous machines.
I'll ignore your inflammatory comments in the hope that this conversation can remain civil - let's please try to stick to the topic at hand and avoid further trolling.

| No I am saying that Lenovo designed the core structure of the MacAir (the entire schematic is Lenovo), under contract, which gives them (MAC) about 6 months to a year to get into the market. After that, Lenovo will be able to use technology that it designed, as well as now superior newer technology. In fact the x300
I have already proved you wrong once, you say that there is no DVD burner that is thin enough. The base x300 DVD burner is 7mm
The MBA runs about 4 mm to 19 mm in thickness. The Lenovo DVD burner drive is 7mm and a new one is form factor at just at 4mm. Depending on the options of the newer x3nn and x4nn they will accept the 4mm drive but hold the bay at just over 7mm to accommodate the battery (the bay is dvd/cd/bat/200GB RAM disk).
The base x300 will be pretty thin, the newer x330 and or x400 will be thiner is some respects than what is offered by the MBA now. They will offer a weight savings in the same config (by about half a pound to three quarters of a pound -depending on options). The ram drive will be 64gb base, 120 add on in the bay and then 200 add on -those numbers might change.
The processor will be low voltage, it will have GB Ethernet on the MOBO, the bay will be a PATA connection to accomodate the various swap options.
Lenovo with Intel fronting a custom CPU for APple and Fujitsu developed these new books but then pawned off the technology on the board and sub architecture to the Apple folks. Why? Because the newer Lenovos will support the Intel Montevina CPU, where as the Apple uses the Merom architecture. That being said there will be a slight permofrance loss switch up and a power difference but not a big deal for apple to switch to the Montevina.
You can Google some of this or you can wait about 6 months and then tell me how I predicted the future. |
