#3The quality/price ratio looks very good in my opinion.

#4The t440p is a tank and with a 4core i7 still a capable machine and one of the only mobile machines that you can properly tripple boot with Linux, Mac OS, Windows each on a physical HDD. (1x m2 and 2x sata ssds). You can get one for 120 bucks and update nearly everything (don't get the one with Nvidia graphics), spare parts are cheap and plenty. I run a 2560x1440 IPS panel, 16GB RAM, i7 4710mq, 3 disks and a t480 touchpad (needs a slight mod). The only downsides are the missing usb-c and form factor if you are used to ultrabooks.

Other downside, no dedicated HDMI port.
Speaking of tanks. I have a T400 from minifree. No PC has ever matched the boot time.

Now that's a bold lie.

#7I really would like to see more modern CPUs supported

#8I love the idea! Just make sure you definitly get the t450 touchpad upgrade or you will regret it forever. Nothing worse than a t*40-series touchpad.

I agree that's a sad baseline. However they do have a decent upgrade option which IMHO is a no brainer:
£100: 1080p IPS display (AUO B140HAN01.3 panel, anti-glare matte)
