Another reason for problems reading the battery might be the battery
starting to go bad?
Typing this on a T510 and happy with it so far.
Graphics is:
nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
I would have preferred Intel built-in but then I could not get the
1920x1080 screen which is great (not shinny!). 8G RAM + i7 CPU M 620 @
2.67GHz + 500G disk.
Sounds like a good machine.
