The ThinkPad SL500 is quite solid. On the upper side and bottom side of the base unit, it is very resistant to the applied force. The role of materials obviously was traded from the T series The SL500 is the hollow plastic housing, while the palm rest areas are made of a metallic material. However, there is no metal frame inside, which strongly connects all parties to the other; it makes this laptop very rigid in bending. Crackling noise at the time of handling the notebook can be heard.
