  +1. I've had a T420 for about 5-6 years now. Added an SSD to it and it still works great. It's my secondary laptop now, and I have the 2015 X1 Carbon that is my daily-driver that I couldn't be happier with. It's light, portable, and its battery is a champ. I run Win 8.1 with things like Chrome, Visual Studio, Word/Excel, light Photoshop/Illustrator, and some Xubuntu virtual machines. I'd recommend either of these laptops. In fact, we just bought a few more T420's for the office, gave them SSDs, and installed Xubuntu. They work great.
