The T500/W500 can take the battery, harddisk, dock and keyboard from the R60e.
The 65W might not have enough power but a 90W is cheap now. They should be
able to handle the load fine with 4 GB of memory and are dirt cheap on ebay.
Just the screens need to be still bright/good. Some T500 also have a 1200x800
LED screen. I prefer the WUXGA LG panel with them but it is not that bright
compared to later models.

I could also use one partition on the Lenovo R60e to install a newer
Ubuntu or other package, maybe Lubuntu of at least 14.04 LTS if
available, 16.04 LTS if necessary. If it crashes it is only that

now, and no update to it for years. What a mess. I delayed too long.
I think your problem is the GMA 950 old Intel video. Support problems
with newer kernels. You can try editing the boot parameter in grub and add
i915.lvds_use_ssc=0
supposed to fix it.
But you do have really old hardware. A newer T430 are going for @
$100-$150 comes with a 3-4 gen i5. I have a L530 I bought a few years
ago $200 running 18.04 no problems.
