Thinkpads have a pretty long life, and used ones were usually maxxed out (or 
close to it) so a business could get 3 years out of them.

I have a T410, it's one of the last with a traditional keyboard, and it's 
not an Ultrabook, but I love the keyboard and it's got an old i7 CPU in it.

The T430 (I think) was the first thinner Thinkpad with the "island" 
keyboard, they most likely have a lot of life left, especially if you 
replace the SATA drive with an SSD. You might get a deal on one.

Some of the older T series had a 2.5" SATA drive and a 16GB MMC drive. 
Windows has a driver to use the MMC like a big cache that's kind of neat.
