MODERATORS
I don't really disagree, but as time goes by, those old ones show their age more and more. I'm using the same one as you for work, and I got a T580 off eBay for personal (replaces my T430s). I don't know what I'd get if not for used Thinkpads though. One day maybe I can afford/justify one of those boutique Linux laptops.
Edit: I briefly had a T480 and it had problems with the display... apparently widespread.
It does shows signs of aging, but not as bad as the other laptops of the same era.
I haven't heard of the T480 display problem until now, but then again, I've never had it myself.
