Lenovo Australia has revamped their best selling notebook, the ThinkPad X300, now being dubbed the X301. The X300 has been widely viewed as the world’s thinnest fully functioning laptop. Though the Macbook Air maybe slightly thinner, the lack USB ports, Ethernet socket and no built-in optical drive has seen many people dismiss it as only half finished.

The latest incarnation of ThinkPad will offer a choice of a 64G or 128GB hard drives compared to just the 64GB option of the previous generation. The notebook will allow a choice between an Intel Core 2 Duo U9300 Processor running at 1.2GHz, or the faster U9400 running at 1.4GHz. The new model will also now feature a DisplayPort output, an alternative for HDMI, and will be powered using ultra-low voltage (ULV).

The Lenovo ThinkPad X301 will be available to purchase online from October 2008.
