Yay! I’ll have another beer on that.

The new notebook has arrived. Behold! Here goes the Lenovo x301.

One of the nicest pieces of technology I’ve seen. This eats Airbooks for breakfast.

Here’s a few point to consider:

• 1440×900 resolution
• DVD-Burner
• Solid State Disk (hell yeah…)
• more than one USB port (pokes Airbook)
• VGA Port
• DisplayPort port (that one will rock)
• Awesome speakers. Best I’ve heard so far in any notebook.

Since I ordered it without an operating system, I installed my favourite i686-distro: Archlinux. Install went really smoothly. Everything that matters to me seems to be working. Had a few hickups of Xorg along the way, but I think it’s fine now. Did I mention the keyboard rocks? And that it’s only 1.4kg?? :)

I will definitely post some more on this. KDE 4.1 is running smothly and boot times are ridiculously short. The SSD is definitely the way to go, if you want fast load times. That’s true for software loading time as well. This thingie loads firefox faster than my desktop…

Some more geeking on this mervelous piece now…
