Aiming to fight Apple's MacBook Air on one of its primary advantages -- its size -- Lenovo introduced its Ultrbook U300s, claiming it is thinner than Apple's signature ultra-thin laptop. Lenovo's all-metal U300s is only 0.6 inches thick and equipped with a 1.8 Ghz Core i7.

The U300s boots in 10 seconds, has a 13.3-inch screen (1366x768 resolution), a 256GB SSD, and up to 4GB RAM. The battery lasts 8 hours and can charge to 50% in a half an hour. Compared directly against the MacBook Air and the Asus UX21, the Lenovo holds its own (on paper, at least). The Lenovo U300s will be available in November starting at $1200.

It is really thinner than the Macbook Air and weights a comparable 2.91lbs.

No. It's not a MacBook Air Killer. If you want to take it seriously STOP looking for a killer.

The laptops don't run the same OS! How can a Windows laptop kill a Mac OS X laptop?

This thread should be titled something different to give this product it's own name. If you have to ask if it's a killer then more than likely it's not one. Because when a product kills another one it will make you forget the other one even existed. It will be a product of it's own.

Anyway, this product looks awesome!

This definitely will be a MacBook Air killer, people who've always envied the MBA but didn't want to use OSX, they will most likely go for this.

Nice to see a clean and mean windows laptop, obviously inspired by the macbook and its philosophy
(behind the design ... yeah right ).

Like most apple product killer wannabees lately it is still too expensive. A comparable product has to be cheaper, at least a (few) 100 bucks to really worry apple, let alone KILL.

AND ...

WAIT FOR IT ...

it is still no macbook!

hahaha

Nothing will ever kill an Apple product in today's era of mass marketing, which Apple arguably controls with ease.

Apple's marketing is top notch, while I absolutely despise their commercials because they have an egomaniacal connotation [my opinion]... they are swaying for some, and quite frankly, I've never seen any other company be so good at marketing as Apple is.

Well, maybe Kleenex and their new SneezeGuard technology, catches all your boogers. I will never buy another tissue brand.
