Alright /adv/, T510 or T520 ?
They're pretty cheap right now. (refurbished and destocking)
The most important aspect for me is battery life, problem is, for each of these two, the reviews don't agree with each other, some say the t510 lasts 10H, others says is lasts for a maximum of 5H, same for the T520. If any of you has one, how long does it last ? Does it have a 6cell or a 9cell battery ?
Studying programming so I'll use it most of the day.
My days will go from 8h30 to 17h30 with a possible 1h battery recharge in the middle of the day and MAYBE a recharge during a course. I may able to buy another battery in a few months but right now a single one has to be enough.

You can get about 24+ hours depending on your usage and settings.
15' is big and weight a lot, so you better get X series, or get 14' T series.
And it's preferably to get something with 3rd gen CPU at least for better iGPU performance, or go for C2D for true freedom.
