2012 isn't that bad, it even has usb3!
Yeah really. I have a T430, tried an i7 upgrade but it ate too much battery and was crazy hot (3632QM, the "normal" model!).
The dual core CPU still works kinda well. The keyboard is awesome but loud. The screen is terrible. I have some phone speakers I plan to use for swapping the laptop ones which are crap too.
My T495 had an even better keyboard but proprietary, outdated (kind of, got a Spectre patch).
The clevo honestly has crappy external hardware except the excellent screen. Camera sucks, touchpad sucks, keyboard tolerable. Very strong i7 cpu and good peripherls (well, no displayport, a nogo for FOSS computers I think)
The screen on the t430 is indeed horrible but I had a very modern laptop before this which was pretty high spec, and it had a even worse screen than this somehow (it was some horrendous IPS display, I don't even understand how you mess it up that bad). Compared to that pile of garbage this is much better. The only problem is that you can't replace the display on the t430 as easily as a modern (non-touchscreen) laptop because it uses the LVDS interface instead of the modern eDP interface.
