For me T460 is still the king. I like my new T15, but I miss things like two batteries.

Im on my t460 right now :) With Ubuntu I honestly don't see much drama. It kinda a bummer in some regards. It just keeps working so I have no good excuse after 5 years to get another laptop. I've broken it a few times dropping it. And being able to download the manual, order parts and then repair at home has been really nice. I hope lenovo understands that this is a big feature of thinkpads.

  I was also looking bor replacement, but I just couldn't justify it to myself. With 16 gigs of RAM and 512G SSD it works like a charm. I think that the fan will be the first thing that I'll need to replace...

My only complaint about the T460 is they have already discontinued replacement batteries. They are still available in the channel but it's hard to know whether you are getting the real thing or not.

  In my country Green Cell batteries are pretty popular as replacement batteries. I can see that they still have T460 batteries (https://greencell.global/en/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=t460 https://greencell.global/en/search?controller=search&orderby...).

I still like my T460 too, especially because Ubuntu works completely flawlessly. Also as I was able to buy a warranty for over 5 years where they came in my office and replaced stuff without shipping and long waiting :) Had to use this once after a year when the mainboard broke (cpu freezed) Battery time is still ~6h (bought the extra large second battery and was ~12h initially) The keyboard + display are great (the display is now after >5 years a bit white in certain spots but nothing critical). The CPU speed isn't that great but ok. The sound is really really bad :)

T470 was a beast for me with the 9-cell battery. I really wish manufacturers still understood there are people out there who don't mind a bit of extra weight or adjusted form factor for more battery. Sure, with new charging standards I can just use an external backup battery to charge the laptop but it's annoying to have another extra separate thing to carry around when it used to just be an optional part of the system.

Loved my T460S but my T480 is a level above with the 4-core CPU, greater memory capacity, much improved screen
