The T440 or above with a 1080p screen upgrade and trackpad replacement is so much nicer to use since it cooks your legs less, has a nicer screen, is lighter, thinner and still able to take hard falls without issue.
Definitely true, but I don't use laptops on my lap very often. I also have a fear that
> lighter, thinner
may mean harder to get into and repair/replace things.

edit: let me let these people argue in favor of the T430...

I have a LG Gram 15 that is pretty decent, but very wobbly/flexy. It's saving grace is the lightweight of it.
My 16" MBP M1 Max is phenomenal, but very heavy, and I move it 5-10x daily.
I plan on replacing it with the ~2025 MBA 15". My wife's 13" M1 MBA is great, but the 13" is not nearly as comfortable for a single display as the 16".
