    The X301 was on Lenovo's site for a few minutes. But you could not customize it yet. They have since taken it off!

    Nice work, Paul. I think X301 is still overpriced though. X200 is a good size for me, and much cheaper. More importantly, I can put a real hard drive (320GB) in it. Waiting to get one when it goes on sale.

    X301 is still on the website and broken.

    It will be up soon as its after midnight now. Release date is scheduled for August 26th. Got to sleep, wake up and it will be ready to order.

    Cool! Not like I'd ever be able to buy one of those, but it's nice they still have the X300 up. I hope they don't remove the X300 when the X301 is available...

    I hope lenovo will use the MBA's processor in next generation and wonder how thin/light that X302 or X400 etc. will be.

    So it does only support up to 3GB RAM. Interesting...

    I believe it supports 4GB RAM, it's just that only Lenovo ships with 3GB (one 1GB stick + one 2GB stick).

    My guess as to why they do this is 32bit Vista and XP only show the first 3.5 GB of RAM. Lenovo probably wants to avoid calls from users claiming they can't see all of their RAM

    If you change the config to Vista Business 64 bit, the ram option will change to 4 GB.
