I ran that laptop for many years. I still have it. But I like my rooted chromebook more.
The ergonomics of those thinkpads is nearly unrivaled. But they are heavy. I'd still choose the ThinkPad over 90% of the laptops out there no matter the specs.
Erogonomics is everything. Once you are on Linux it won't be slow in any case. Now the slowest thing is at the human and device interface. So the only thing that matters is optimizing that. Not the RAM, not the CPU, and not even the repairability. That ThinkPad has the most proper keyboard of almost any laptop. It has a track pad that isn't oddly off to one side putting it under one of your palms when typing. It's body is also rubberized so it doesn't slide all over the place when on your lap.
Everything else about a laptop is unimportant unless you have windows and need absurd specs to counter act the stupidity of paying for shitware.
