T500 for sure! They have a great reputation. The R series not so much. IDK about ASUS.
Go to ThinkPads.com for great advice from very knowledgeable people. If you register you can participate in their marketplace. I have gotten a few items from members and had good experiences.

I have some ThinkPad laptops I got off freecycle that I have been thinking about getting running to replace our Dell Inspiron 600m. The ThinkPads I have are: lenovo R60, Type 9461-CTO, Product ID: 9461CTO lenovo T500, Type 2242-CTO, Product ID: 2242CTO I also have an ASUS M3000Np Notebook PC. Are any of these worth the trouble to get them running?
