5 out of 5 stars Nice laptop   June 10, 2010
M. Eckelberry (clearwater, FL USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This laptop is a tiny bit older in terms of the chip (dual core vs. i3/i5/i7). However, it's perfectly functional and very, very nice. It's not a blazingly fast computer, the graphics card is a typical on-board graphics chip, but it's perfectly fine for basic business and home uses. Plenty of RAM, plenty of hard drive space, nice screen, nice keyboard.

Build quality is excellent. You will likely want to teak the touchpad a bit (there is a tool for that) and also do a bit of minor configuration of the machine to your taste.

A wonderful thing is that it ships with Windows 7 Professional.

I would highly recommend this laptop. I think it's wonderful and I'm now very much a Thinkpad fan (having previously been in the Sony Vaio camp).


4 out of 5 stars ThinkPad Quality at Budget Price!   May 26, 2010
Jerry Palmerino Jr (United States)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have a long history with ThinkPads at work. As my company's standard laptop, I have had the priveledge to use a IBM ThinkPad T20, IBM ThinkPad T42, and a Lenovo ThinkPad T61. all have been bulletproof and I have always said that ThinkPads are the only PC laptops I would buy for myself. At home, I use Macs as my primary computers, but with Windows 7, and my aging home-built PCs, I figured it was time to buy a new PC.

You may or may not be familiar with ThinkPads. Relatively bland design and always encased in a black enclosure, these laptops have a reputation in the business community. It is much like the reputation Macs have, in that you may pay a little more, but you also get a little more in terms of build quality.

So about this SL510. It is a ThinkPad at an affordable price. While that is true, the price is higher than you would pay for current laptops from other manufacturers for similar, or even more current hardware. For example, there are newer models with Core I3 and Core I5 chips for less money from other manufacturers. Knowing this, and weighing it against my history with ThinkPads, I still chose the ThinkPad.

My initial impressions after one hour of use:

This laptop is very wide. It is wider than my T61. The difference between 15.4 and 15.6 screens is very noticeable.

The "pencil eraser" pointer is very sensitive and sometimes registers unintentional clicks. I am finding this a little annoying and am still trying to find the settings where I can turn off using the pointer as a clicking input. I want to use it to move the mouse pointer around, but I do not want to use it to left click or selections. I prefer the pointer over the trackpad, which has changed dramatically. There is a strange texture on trackpad. It almost looks like perforations. It enables you to feel the trackpad without looking at it, but this has never really been an issue for me in the past. I'd switch back to the traditional trackpad materials if I were Lenovo.

There is no cd included. You must create your own restore diskfrom the Lenovo utilities installed.

This laptop has not discovered my 5GHz wireless-N network. The wireless card is an Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN. After some research, a forum post indicated that this card only supports wireless-N over the 2.4GHz frequency. While I can change my 2.4 GHZ band to Mixed G/N on my D-Link Dual Band router, I may just live with this laptop's limitation for now.


When you first boot up, an install wizard includes options to install Diskeeper 2009 (a nice option), Norton Security 2009 (which wait suntil after you register to tell you that you are signing up for their subscription service after 30 days of use), and several ads for Net-zero, Microsoft Office, Lenovo Online Backup, and Identity Guard (if you register with Lenovo). There was an on-screen note that said you could still register and skip the Identity Guard software. I skipped this altogether.

The Lenovo Central software started upon the first desktop load. It is an application that houses a lot of annoying adware, including ads for OneBiz Small Business Mgmt Software and Staples. I was not pleased with this. However, with the exception of Microsoft Office, there were no free trials for anything else installed and the Desktop was clean. This was nice.

Overall, my initial impressions were quite positive. I am proud to own my own ThinkPad, as I have a lot of respect for the product. This laptop is solid and fast, even with its somewhat-dated 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo. It only comes with 3GB of RAM. Generally, you can get more powerful hardware for this price from other brands, but I see it as a trade-off because I wanted a ThinkPad.

I may install the 64-bit Windows 7, but then I will lose all of the Lenovo customizations. Lenovo worked with Microsoft to create an "Enhanced Experience" by shortening boot times and shutdown times. Microsoft says that you cannot "upgrade" to at 64-bit version from a 32-bit version. Instead you must do a complete new installation. Perhaps a dual-boot scenario is what I need. It depends on what I end up doing with this laptop.

For the ThinkPad fan or for someone who wants business-level build quality, this laptop may suit your needs nicely.


3 out of 5 stars Solid But Lackluster   May 4, 2010
S. Sharma (California)
2 out of 5 found this review helpful

Pros: Lightweight for it's size, Many Productivity Apps, High Speed and No Lag, Webcam is excellent, Keyboard is very Clicky-Clacky, Dual Pointer/Button System is far superior to mousepad, blue enter key is unique

Cons: Matte finish somehow holds fingerprints, ThinkVantage button not customisable, Too much excess room on keyboard...they should have included a seperate number pad but there is none, solid but boring appearence, audio is average

I really love this computer but there are a few things I would readily change. I am sure with constant use i will break this computer in and become accustomed to it's quirks (so long as during it's breaking in it doesnt break on me) I am a little suspicous about this brand now. Thinkpads used to be the tanks of the computing world, worktrucks but ever since they were taken over by the chinese company i have concerns about the durability of this machine, well only time will tell and i def. reccommend this laptop to any student or small business owner. I am a very flashy and stylish person myself and i liked the low-key mood this computer sets, it is the exact opposite of the ASUS karim rasheed edition i purchased for earlier

After having several real (IBM) Thinkpads, the SL510 is a monumental disappointment. Ours arrived dead, inoperative. The keyboard is poor compared to earlier Thinkpads. We got an RMA and sent it back.

One warning: we purchased this one from Newegg. After many years of success with Newegg, they have turned dirty. Very dirty. Don't risk buying anything with a value of over $25 from Newegg.
