The L502X had the best keyboard and speakers of any laptop I've ever owned. It still has plenty of horsepower under Window 7 too, but everything has deprecated support for that OS. Maybe one day will install a flavour of Linux on it. It's too good to let go to e-waste!

The L502X speakers were in a completely different class for the era, and still competitive today against current MBPs.

IMO, ThinkPads from the same release year (T420 etc.) equipped with the NMB keyboard had a far better layout and feel.

This is making me quite curious, how does it compare to modern MacBooks which I’ve come to consider to have excellent sound?

I have Linux on mine and it's still alive.
