The Best Servers for Business
It's not a stretch to say that a network is weak without a strong server in the center of it. Within your server you have files and folders, directory and DNS duties, e-mail, collaboration, and applications. With quad-core CPUs, multiple layers of hardware redundancy, system cooling, and sophisticated management, one of these four workhorse servers will form the backbone of your SMB network.
Lenovo's X300 Answers the MacBook Air
The MacBook Air sets the bar pretty high when it comes to size, weight, and the ability to fit a notebook PC into a manila envelope. Lenovo's newest ThinkPad does a stellar job of answering the Air's form factor and adds a bit more in terms of components, to boot. It weighs about the same as the MacBook Air, depending on how you configure it, and the removable battery, built-in optical drive, integrated WWAN, and multiple USB ports make this little ultraportable much more desirable from a business standpoint. Read the full review for more details.
