T500
The T500 is the first model in the T5xx series and succeeds the T61/T61p Wide; the T61p was replaced by the W500. The devices share numerous spare parts - e.g. the palm rest and the keyboard. The model was produced from August 2008 to September 2010.
I saved my T500 from being scrapped. It was considered defective - but only the RAM needed to be replaced. The device has one of the more powerful CPUs and the medium-sized WSXGA+ LCD.
