I'm still using one of these "ancient" Thinkpads (an X200S). It's good enough for my purposes (audio recording, live audio performances, hacking on free software, Emacs, browsing the web).
I don't often find myself wishing for a more powerful machine. When I do, I run computations on remote servers.

The FAQ explicitly says it's not going to run on any new Intel or AMD processors, which essentially makes it useless for modern desktop, laptop, and server systems. As others have pointed out, it's almost not even possible to buy hardware that's supported.
