I get that Lenovo is trying to showcase its one-button recovery if the ThinkPad crashes, but did they really have to use the creepiest little creature ever to mock what happens when the older gentleman's less-sophisticated laptop crashes?

It's like one part David Lynch, one part this.

And by the way, the correct answer is no, they did not. I am disturbed.

Look out MacBook Air, there's a new lady in town and rumor has it, she weighs less than you - ouch! According to USA Today, computer manufacturer Lenovo will be announcing a new teeny laptop tailored for business travelers. Weighing in at only 2.9 pounds is the ThinkPad X300, which isn't as slender as the Air, but boasts a built-in optical drive, multiple USB ports, a removable battery and integrated WWAN. Now for the bad news, it's gonna cost you - $2,799 (starting price), compared to the $1,744.00 of the MB Air. That being said, would you pay the extra $1000 for the sleek design and additional features? Total toss up!
