It seems like just yesterday Lenovo announced its MacBook-Air-slaying X300 ultralight laptop – in fact that was just February. Even still, Lenovo has managed to click the model number ahead just six months later with the introduction of the X301, a newer, faster variant of the machine.

The biggest change to the new machine will be the processor at its heart: Lenovo has moved from an Intel Centrino to an Intel Core 2 Duo ULV (ultra-low voltage) which will be clocked at 1.2GHz or 1.4GHz. Other upgrades include a choice of up to 2GB of DDR3 RAM, new 80GB or 128GB solid-state drives, and support for DisplayPort.

Price will actually drop from the existing X300’s MSRP, which stands at $2,725. The X301 will debut on August 26 for $2,599.

A Windows 11 bug may be quietly eating hundreds of gigabytes of your storage

Windows 11’s storage-eating bug now has a fix from Microsoft

If your Windows 11 PC suddenly looks low on storage, your downloads folder or game library may not be the problem. According to Windows Latest, a bug tied to a Windows system file can silently consume tens or even hundreds of gigabytes on the system drive.

The file in question is called CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal, and it sits inside Windows’ Capability Access Manager folder. Windows Latest says the issue may appear as unusually high “System files” usage in Windows 11’s storage breakdown, even though the Settings app does not clearly identify the exact file responsible. In some reported cases, users saw it grow to 200GB, and even more.

Your next Teams meeting could have an AI teammate that answers questions for you

Teams is getting smarter, cleaner, and quieter about it. The AI features are opt-in, the chat cleanup is automatic.

Microsoft Teams is getting a meaningful update that overhauls almost every part of how you use the app, from AI-assisted meetings to a cleaner chat layout. Most of the changes are already in testing, and several are scheduled to roll out before the end of the summer.

Starting with the most interesting addition: an upgraded AI Facilitator that can listen to your meeting, spot when someone seems confused, and generate a response (via Windows Report).
