Review Lenovo Thinkpad T500 Notebook

 

One for all. The models of the T-series made by Lenovo were alway

Base unit very flexural rigid; Display very robust; Modular Ultrabay drive slot; Extensive communication modules; Helpful ThinkVantage software; High quality trackpoint; Bright high resolution display; Good performance/mobility ratio due to graphics...

Case deforms sometimes under pressure; Almost all ports are concentrated on the left side; Keyboard has small weaknesses; Modest viewing angle stability; Battery doesn't fit neatly into the case

The Lenovo Thinkpad T500 is a good office notebook, because its emissions are very low. It is quiet and its surface doesn’t get very warm. The Lenovo Thinkpad T500 can thus be recommended to professional or private office users, who want to be mobile,...

Lenovo T500 ThinkPad Review

 

The T500 Thinkpad is the latest 15.4" refresh of the longstanding T-series out of Lenovo. Combining the latest generation of Intel goodies, ATI Hybrid graphics, and DisplayPort connection this notebook has many new things to offer over the previous...

Very powerful ; Cool and quiet under normal conditions ; Great battery life for a 15.4" notebook (5.25 hrs with dedicated graphics, almost 7 hours with integrated) ; Impressive switchable graphics, would you like gaming or battery life

ThinkPad with keyboard flex ; Screen could be brighter

Overall the Lenovo ThinkPad T500 is a fine notebook worthy of a spot on many office or dormroom tables, but it could have come closer to perfection if Lenovo didn't mess with the keyboard

Lenovo ThinkPad T500 First Look

 

The T500 Thinkpad is the latest 15.4" refresh of the longstanding T-series out of Lenovo. Combining the latest generation of Intel goodies, ATI Hybrid graphics, and DisplayPort connection this notebook has many new things to offer over the previous...

Unlike the T400 which saw a massive jump in battery life over the previous generation 14" notebook as a result of the LED-backlit screen, the T500's battery life was in line with the 15.4" T61. While the 9-cell battery in the T400 gave 7-8 hours of...

Lenovo ThinkPad T500 Laptop

 

IBM are one of the oldest members of the electronics industry with the roots of the company having been around since the 1880s thanks to a man called Herman Hollerith who worked on developing certain tabulating machine technologies. After passing...

The Lenovo ThinkPad T500 may not be as stylish or as fashionable as say, a Sony Vaio but what it does offer is practicality and usability with capable all round performance.

A real prizefighter of a laptop: powerful, well-built and reasonably mobile, too

Lenovo ThinkPad T500

 

Lenovo comes to the dual-graphics party with its T500, but can it compete with Sony's finest? Jonathan Bray finds out.

Slim, sleek and sexy ultraportables are all very well, but there are times when you need a bit more oomph. That's why we like the Sony VGN-Z21MN/B so much, and why it's resident on our A List. It may not be as thin as a MacBook Air or a Lenovo X300,...

Decent Computer. Terrible Seller.

 

Have not heard back from these guys. 3rd problem I've had with them. Lesson learned, good riddance.

-Decent power for the price

-Bad battery -Customer support is VERY difficult to contact -Voicemail doesn't work.

Upgrade!

 

Newegg is the best. I go there first.

I ordered at Lenovo T500 and what appeared to be a new T520 arrived with a upgrade sticker on it. It came in a Lenovo box shrink wrapped on cardboard and had that new plastic smell. I had used ThinkPads at work for years and swear by them. When I saw...

It's a tad larger than the T500 but fits in the backpack

Upgrade

 

While I appreciate the upgrade, it's not what I ordered. I plan to keep it. My daughter has the T500. (See earlier review.)

Runs Backbox Linux just fine. Everything works

I ordered a T500 and a T520 arrived with stickers on shipping box and on computer stating "Model upgrade." It's a tad bigger and heavier than a T500. But my Backbox Linux drive installed and runs perfectly. Even fits into my old Patagonia backpack
