Background

About the IBM ThinkPad SL Series

Sold 2008–2010

IBM ThinkPad SL Series is a Lenovo line from 2008, introduced three years after IBM sold its PC division. It was a low-priced ThinkPad for small businesses, launched as the 13.3-inch SL300, the 14-inch SL400 and the 15-inch SL500, with the SL410 and SL510 as the second generation.

To reach its price the SL left out several ThinkPad staples: there was no ThinkLight, no magnesium roll cage, no UltraBay and no lid latch, the keyboard had six rows where traditional ThinkPads had seven, and the firmware was derived from Lenovo's IdeaPad consumer laptops. That makes an SL quite different to work on from a T or R series machine of the same year. The Edge series succeeded it in 2010.
