Conclusion
The Lenovo ThinkPad SL300 turned out be to be very capable business notebook, with most of the ThinkPad durability and features we are used to, but with a much lower cost. This notebook had more than enough power to plow through daily tasks, heavily influenced by the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor and NVIDIA 9300M GS graphics card. Battery life was good reaching above 4 hours of life in our testing, compared to the 14" T400 which could break six hours with switchable graphics. Overall the SL300 is a solid notebook for those looking to purchase something more durable than a consumer notebook, but don't want to make a jump into the full-on business notebook category.
Pros
- Very good performance
- Cool to the touch; is it even on?
- Easy to upgrade components in compared to regular ThinkPad
- Good battery life
Cons
- Squeaky TouchPoint button
- Laggy non-Synaptics touchpad
