Lenovo ThinkPad T500 Review Quotes

Lenovo’s Thinkpad T500 has been reviewed recently by NotebookReview and InsideHW.

The Thinkpad T500 is a new 15.4-inch laptop in the refreshed T Series. The notebook features the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors and switchable graphics.

According to NotebookReview, the T500 is very powerful, “close to workstation or gaming notebook levels”. It’s cool, and quiet. The laptop has a great battery life with a 9-cell unit - 5.25 hours when the dedicated video card is used, and almost 7 hours with integrated graphics.

The review reveals that Lenovo had completely redesigned the keyboard, in order to decrease notebook’s weight. However, the new keyboard has flex and is not as great as those in older ThinkPad models, NBR says. Another downside is the screen, which could be brighter.

InsideHW says the T500 successfully continues Thinkpad tradition, but also points out keyboard, “that will probably bring controversy among ThinkPad fans”.

“ThinkPad still stays synonym for quality notebook and dual graphics subsystem gives it whole new dimension by joining two, up to now, not joinable worlds – mobility and great performances,” InsideHW concludes.
