Let’s just go straight to the point: the Lenovo ThinkPad X100E has an 11.6-inch display, an AMD Neo processor, as well as connectivity options like WWAN, WiFi and Bluetooth. Weighing only three pounds, this notebook is powered by a battery that can last up to five hours.

And like with many other notebooks, the Lenovo ThinkPad X100E has a fairly decent camera. According to Lenovo, the ThinkPad X100E “is positioned to be a viable mix of the portability of a netbook with the performance of a laptop at an affordable price.”

This device will be available in white, black and red for $500 starting January next year. Now if only Lenovo could have brought this notebook sooner to the market, then maybe I can cajole my mother to give me one as a present for Christmas.
