Lenovo is going very better when its about laptops/Notebook and they produces such nice and performance laptops and they always tried to do so and mostly they succeeds and this time Lenovo ThinkPad T510 is on front table. it provides ample protection for the screen, which is one of the most vulnerable parts of a notebook. There's a lip on the lid that ensures nothing can find its way between screen and keyboard when the notebook is in transit; a very solid catch offers additional security.The design is low key, with a matte black finish to our review sample and a discreet ThinkPad logo on the outside of the shell. The solid chassis construction is partly responsible for the ThinkPad T510 being on the heavy side at 2.67kg. It's sizeable too, measuring 37.28cm wide by 24.51cm deep by 3.58cm thick. It's not the kind of notebook that most people would want to carry on a daily basis.The Lenovo ThinkPad T510's 15.6in screen has a resolution of 1600x900, which is great for lining up windows side by side while multitasking.The notebook is also available with a 1366x768 screen.It's a high-brightness screen that allows documents and most web pages to be viewed even in direct sunlight, but the black palm rest will get very hot very quickly when you use it in the sun — if you use it outdoors, make sure you shade it.
The screen has excellent contrast and it makes the Lenovo ThinkPad T510 great for viewing photos and videos. It also has reasonably good viewing angles. The display features a 2-megapixel webcam and a built-in light that shines down on the keyboard — this works well and is very useful when typing at night.The keyboard itself feels rock solid and doesn't bounce at all — until you use the arrow keys. The bottom-right corner bounces far too much, to the point where it makes a clicking noise as it moves; this is uncharacteristic of ThinkPads and may just be a quirk of our test model.The keys are full-sized and they offer more resistance than ThinkPad keys of the past, but they are still very comfortable to hit. Above the keyboard you'll find dedicated volume controls, which are very convenient, especially as the Lenovo ThinkPad T510 ships with better-than-average speakers that sit either side of the keyboard. This means that you don't get a number pad on the T510, but you do get good sound quality until you turn the volume up, when the speakers will distort.Two pointing devices are installed: you get a large touchpad as well as a TrackPoint device. The TrackPoint is sensitive and sometimes sticky, but it's great for when you don't want to move your hands too far from the typing position. The touchpad is also very responsive and feels good to use. It has little bumps on it that sometimes tickle, but you get used to them after a while.It also supports gestures so you can use two fingers to scroll, zoom and rotate. The Lenovo ThinkPad T510 won't get warm on your lap until it's rendering 3D graphics — but it weighs a hefty 2.85kg and its edges can dig in to your legs, making it uncomfortable.Lenovo ThinkPad T510 is filled with some form of connection or feature. The T510 includes three USB 2.0 ports, one eSATA/USB combo port, FireWire 400, VGA and DisplayPort-out, Ethernet, a modem jack, and a headset port. Expansion slots include an ExpressCard/34 slot and a SDHC-card reader.If you are one of the ever-increasing segments of consumers that use their notebook for a desktop-replacement at home and mobile platform on the road, the latest ThinkPad Mini Dock might be for you. Our T510 review unit included the Mini Dock Plus Series-3 docking station that is loaded with ports and even supports up to three monitors connected simultaneously. In total the docking station adds six more USB ports, Ethernet, two DVI-outs, two DisplayPort-outs, one VGA-out, eSATA, and additional headphone and microphone jacks.The overall WEI rating corresponds to the lowest component score, which was for Graphics (Desktop performance for Windows Aero). The highest score, an impressive 6.8, was for Processor (Calculations per second). In between came scores of 5.8 for Primary hard disk (Disk data transfer rate), 5.5 for RAM (Memory operations per second), and 5.2 for Gaming Graphics (3D business and gaming graphics performance). This is a decent performer: if you need better graphics speed, specify the discrete Nvidia GPU in place of Intel's integrated HD Graphics.Lenovo talks up the environmental credentials of its ThinkPad range, highlighting features like mercury-free displays, switchable graphics in some models, and Battery Stretch, which is designed to improve battery life.There are several power plans to choose from, including preconfigured settings for video playback and one called 'timers off', which is optimised for making presentations. Although we run a video as our battery life test, we chose a standard Maximum Lifespan plan, and then ran a video for as long as the system could manage.ThinkPad T510 can be configured with a six or nine-cell battery. Our review unit came equipped with the 94Wh nine-cell battery which is probably the best option you can get if you want extended runtime. In our battery test Windows 7 set to a balanced profile, the T510’s battery lasted for 508 minutes which is great.Overall its a decent laptop and the battery life is just what you needed.
