    Since Lenovo took over the rights of the ThinkPad from IBM in 2005, an increasing amount of notebooks of the ThinkPad family are found that rather aim more at end consumers than business clients. The SL range bids a few known qualities, such as the good keyboard, the trackpoint, the hard disk recovery, the good software and the fingerprint reader.

    Lenovo is one of the larger laptop makers out there and they always make good products that we like.

    Last year, Lenovo attempted to shake up the business notebook market by introducing its SMB-oriented ThinkPad SL Series notebooks.

The ThinkPad SL510, as the new 15-inch member of the line (starting at $529; $1,024 as reviewed), offers key changes, such as a lighter chassis... Read more

    It's a ThinkPad -- it's solid and ready to rock right out of the box. Bought this for my older in-law's, and saw very disappointed to see that all usual screen res's below the native were blurry and bad (read: useless.) Read more
