Lenovo (formerly IBM) just launched their latest addition to the X-series! Model X300 is definitely intended to compete with the MacBook Air, going by the timeline they've used to launch theirs. Obviously riding on the wave of a predecessor, I'm pretty sure they planned all this to let the MacBook Air rustle up the hype first. Then they hop right in and show everyone "look we've got something slightly thicker, BUT we have a DVD drive!" don't seem too far fetched to me for that to happen...
The thinner of the 2 would probably still be the Air (plus the X300 is more blocky). But with just a few centimeters thicker, the X300 comes with an optional DVD burner drive! They've also offered to give you enough juice running this baby for 10 hours without plugging in. I believe this is achieved via the optional secondary battery pack that is swappable with the DVD drive.
But heck, it should cost slightly cheaper and it runs Windows. As always, Macs look more visually appealing but for simple office applications I think most people will stick with (unfortunately) Windows to get the job done.
Sadly you can only purchase it on their US site here.
