Pros: Processor, Input/Output compatibility, Keyboard/peripherals, Wireless card, Display resolution, Screen size, Display performance, Video card, Bluetooth, Included software, Software compatibility, Durability, Warranty, Support, Security Features, Build Quality<BR>Cons: Memory, Storage, Weight, Battery I got this recently as a gift and can only recommend it, it is an amazing laptop, top quality and just really sturdy and rugged! Only downer is the price/value in comparison to other brands, but then again just wait for a sale and get yours. The onboard RAM and HD could both be bigger and more, but all in all it is a fantastic laptop.

Best of the best

Pros: Processor, Memory, Storage, Input/Output compatibility, Keyboard/peripherals, Wireless card, Display resolution, Screen size, Display performance, Video card, Bluetooth, Weight, Battery, Included software, Software compatibility, Durability, Warranty, Support, Security Features, Build Quality, trackpoint, fingerprint reader, sealed spill resistant keyboard, its not a mac! The T-Series Laptop was by far the best purchase I have ever made as far as computers go. There is nothing I don't like about this machine, and it seems like every day I find a new feature that I didn't know I had. I had no idea that Lenovo made such wonderful products until a friend showed me his T-series (T-60) and then I decided it was time for me to join the few, the proud, the elite that are the ThinkPad owners. I will be purchasing another one very soon for my wife as well. Thank you Lenovo for making such an awesome computer.

T-Series ROCKS!

Pros: Display resolution, Screen size, Display performance, Weight, Battery, Durability, Build Quality<BR>Cons: Keyboard/peripherals, no auto-hibernate upon closing I purchased the T-500 as a replacement home laptop. I use it for internet access, home media management (mostly pics), and occassionally working from home (light business applications - MS Office). My son also uses it for internet access and light gaming. I've had it for about a month now and have had no problems with it, although I'm still getting used to the Vista operating system. Probably the best feature I've noticed so far is the battery power management. I haven't yet had time to go into the power management application to change any settings, but the "default" settings allow for a very long battery life compared to my old Toshiba. I believe I'm getting close to 4 hours of work time on a single charge. The one item that I find a bit frustrating is that upon closing the laptop it does not automatically go into hibernate mode, which my old laptop did - this causes the battery to run down more quickly than it otherwise would. But, I'm sure once I have more time to check out the operating system there may be a solution for that. All in all, I'm very happy with the T-500 as a general use PC.

Great all around basic laptop
