Don't see the Air as a category-killer: see it as the category's new champion. Lenovo, with its forthcoming X300 subnotebook, is among a gang of four (Fujitsu, Toshiba, Sony...) that already has an established tradition of miniature models. It surely sees new opportunity in Apple's announcement, to go with the new opposition that it represents.

The X30 is meatier than the new MacBook: it has a 2.0 GHz Intel LV processor, up to 4GB of RAM, 64GB SSD option, WiMax or HSDPA, GPS and a 1440x900 13.3" display, despite being lighter than the Air with this 2.5lb loadout. It has three (3!) USB ports and gigabit ethernet.

On the downside, the XP or Vista-equipped box is much thicker. It's also cast in standard IBM black, though I must submit that this particular look is the industry's best example of Pollardian neutrality this side of a faceless OEM laptop from Taiwan.
