I have a T430 from late 2011 which is still in use. I've replaced the battery and upgraded the RAM. One glaring issue this author only mentions in passing is the screen, which in my opinion is a complete dealbreaker for using this laptop for any sort of daily driver tasks like media consumption and web browsing. Even for its day the screen was poor. I'm not talking about the resolution, but color rendition and contrast. Its a complete pig. I run arch (btw) on mine and use it as a troubleshooting machine which i can carry with me and throw around without worrying too much, but i would not use it as my main computer.
