Both libreboot-compatible.

T61's northbridge isn't supported in coreboot.
Not sure about sl500; doesn't seem to be listed in coreboot under
src/mainboard/lenovo/ so probably not supported.

leah@minifree:~/coreboot$ ls src/mainboard/dell
ls: cannot access 'src/mainboard/dell': No such file or directory

So your Dell laptop isn't supported by either coreboot or libreboot.

I would suggest that you only bring your T400 and T500.
