New Laptop

Don't think that's an option with this client - I'm more likely to be a guinea pig - no matter how embarrassing the end results can end up being...

It's more software related - we have access to beta versions and often have them given to us with no say in the matter.

From what I've seen at clients they do tend to buy a number of high end laptop's. I know this becasue I can see them on the senior managers and directors desks..

Don't be so judgmental. Maybe they need it to watch the 4k quality videos in their private office.

Don't be so judgmental. Maybe they think they need it to play Solitaire and book expensive restaurants on expenses from within the comfort of their private office.

Mines a W530 with 32 Gb of RAM, I got used to the new keyboard, fine with it now.
It is bulky but was meant as a desktop replacement.

I did like the old keyboards as well, however.

Snap.

If you have a laptop backpack then it's not that heavy to take to client site (even with the 135w or 170w power bricks). I like both the old and the keyboards and there are rumors that there will be a 25th anniversary edition released at the end of this year that will bring back the old style of keyboard.

Indeed.

Not the lightest, but very rugged.

I can honestly say I have never been happier with any PC.

Which thinkpad?

Which thinkpad do you recommend?

I have a t420 which is truly bombproof! As previously mentioned by another poster there is the bigger screened t520. I almost bought a refurbished t520 for it's larger screen, but have no regrets with the t420. Plenty of independent reviews online, to verify just how good these machines still are.
