Hi, I am planning to buy a new small ultra portable. Two laptops I am considering are the new Macbook Air and the new Lenovo X220.
Macbook Air Specs: Apple - MacBook Air - Compare the 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air.
Lenovo X220 Specs: Lenovo - Customize your ThinkPad X220 laptop - Doorbuster!
Category, Macbook Air (11"), Lenovo X220
OS, OS Lion OSX, Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor, i7 (1.8 GHz, Low Voltage), i7 (2.7 GHz, Normal)
RAM, 4GB 1333MHz, 8GB 1333MHz
Hard disk, 128GB (Solid State), 320GB
Graphics, Intel HD3000, Intel HD3000
Battery, 5 hours, 9 cell (Lenovo people say 13.8 hours)
Cost, 1284$, 1218$
As far as looks go, I absolutely adore both laptops. It's just that the X220 will be a lot thicker and slightly heavier. I am a CS grad student, therefore, I'll probably be using the console most of the times. My primary requirements are portability, battery, specs, solid built quality, looks. As far as portability goes both are portable as far as I am concerned.
What do you guys suggest? I am leaning towards the X220 because of the better battery life primarily.

Here is a review of the X220 if somebody is interested: Lenovo ThinkPad X220 review -- Engadget. The laptop was released in March. So I guess a new version could come out in 3-6 months. I don't know much about the Thinkpad Lenovo cycle.
