I think it's time to finally upgrade from my T7200 Flexview T60. The replacement candidate is a T510 4313-CTO with the following specs:

Processor: Intel Core i5-540M (2.53GHz, 3MB L3, 1066MHz FSB)
Operating System: Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate 64 US English (OEM COA)
Display type: 15.6" FHD Display (95% Gamut, 270nit) with LED backlight
System graphics: NVIDIA NVS 3100m Graphics with 512MB DDR3
Memory: 8GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
Keyboard: US English
Storage: 320 GB HDD 7200rpm
Optical Device: Multi Recorder Optical Drive (12.7mm)
Battery: 9 cell Li-ion Battery
Power cord: 90W AC adapter
WLAN: Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250
WWAN: Integrated Mobile Brroadband (Gobi 2000 3G with GPS)

Miscellaneous:
- UltraNav(TrackPoint and TouchPad) with Fingerprint Reader
- 2.0 MP Camera
- Express Card Slot, 5-in-1 Card Reader & Smart Card Slot
- Bluetooth w/antenna integrated

Total cost to me if I were to pull the trigger would be ~$215 USD with shipping. What do you guys think?

If the machine is clean, go for it, it's a good deal. I know I would...

Agreed. Those are solid specs, and if the unit is in good condition, it is a great deal. Also, that FHD display is a nice upgrade in contrast and color compared to your current flexview screen (though viewing angles are worse). You will not be disappointed with it.

Sounds like a great deal, considering I've sold well running W500's for that price range with inferior specs.

Thanks, guys. I've pulled the trigger and treated myself to a new replacement keyboard for it as well.

Too late, but I was going to tell you to hurry up with it
Great machine, take good care of it

That is almost exactly the specs of my last (and still running) thinkpad. Well bought!
