Lenovo spoofs Macbook Air commercial

The stuff the macbook air lacks built in that the lenovo shown does not.
A DVD drive, and if I can tell properly, a bluetooth and wifi card, among a couple other things. Just guesses here for the most part.
Ahh, I see a USB -> LPT adapter, and a USB -> ethernet adapter in there, too.

One of them is probably an Ethernet adapter, which is something that the Macbook Air is missing.

That one was a definate "deal breaker" for me... I don't know how many times I've been to hotels or offices where the WiFi isn't working right and I needed to plug into their network.
 
*CD
*VGA adapter
*WAN card
*last one definetly isn't a wired ethernet adapter. Looks like bluetooth or WiFi but the back already has it. Ir maybe?

There's no LPT
 
two of the devices are on top of another two, and the LPT adapter is in the back, not easily noticed, big hulking white rectangle. The very first device plugged in, to the back, is the LPT adapter.

Yes, I believe the point IBM was trying to make was, their sh!t still looks like it was designed in the 1980s. They should have a guy with a Michael Jackson glove pulling the X300 out of "Return of the Jedi" backpack. Old school style.
 
Lenovo is NOT IBM. IBM sold their consumer computer division to lenovo (a seperate company) a while back.

and Lenovo has maintained the tradition of boxy styling and uncompromising quality since then.

I love my T61p.

I couldn't agree more. Best purchase I've made in a long time. It is funny though... one of my students seriously asked if I bought my computer "like seven years ago." YES. Because laptops came with vista seven years ago! *headbutt*

edit: I did like the video because it made a good point, but the Dell desktop parody of the macbook air dominates all.
