What is your favorite older model Thinkpad?

I have the Thinkpad T430 and what I like about it is that the parts are replaceable and the notebook itself is also well built. Runs Linux just fine. I do need to increase the memory from 4GB to 8GB and swap the HDD for an SSD.
 
T430 for portability, T530 for better performance. That was the last generation with the classic design and keyboard. Plus they had the Ivy Bridge arch with much improved IGP.

The T420/T520 are also extremely good, just slightly below the 300 series. The 400 series are by no means bad laptops. But they took a few steps back from previous generations, design wise.
