The new IBMThinkPad X Series adds a Titanium Composite top cover to some serious internal hardware to deliver a notebook with a travel weight that starts at a mere 3.1lb. "The ThinkPad X Series is designed for extra-light portability and at just 1-inch slim, these machines are the perfect mobile computing solution for users on the move who need features and performance in a compact package," declares Ross Matthee, business manager for IBM at Tarsus Technologies. He reveals that ThinkPad X Series notebooks are powered by Intel Mobile Pentium III processors at 600MHz or Celeron processors at 500MHz. "Remarkably, users can expect up to 3.8 hours of battery life," states Matthee.
