Latest Launch: Lenovo ThinkPad X300

The new ThinkPad X300 notebook is a breakthrough, full-featured business ultraportable that's vastly more energy-efficient than previous models and forces none of the compromises typical of other ultraportable systems. You often have to sacrifice features, durability or style for portability.

But not with the X300. It's solid as a rock, thanks to the patent-pending, carbon-fiber/glass-fiber ThinkPad "roll cage" technology and other advances such as Flash-based Solid State drives with no moving parts. In terms of style, it's closer to the size of an actual paper notebook than a ThinkPad notebook has ever been, measuring less than 18.6 mm at its thinnest and starting at just 1.33 kg.

Even with the ultra-thin DVD burner it's still an amazing 1.42 kg. And the X300 offers numerous design flourishes including a glossy bottom bezel, select illuminated buttons and - for the first time in the X Series - an integrated camera option and stereo speakers.

Energy Star specs for efficient servers released

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its much anticipated draft Energy Star standard for computer servers and invited feedback on the proposed criteria.

The draft document sets out the product criteria and testing procedures that manufacturers will have to submit to if they want their servers to carry the Energy Star label.

The Energy Star label is used widely on a raft of electronic products, including PCs and TVs, and informs customers that the product is amongst the most energy efficient models on the market. Servers have thus far not been included in the scheme due to the difficulties associated with comparing different servers and workloads, a problem the EPA hopes to have now resolved with its new standard.
