Doesn't the T420 lack USB 3 though? I had a T430 and even with the "good" 900p screen it wasn't very good with awful viewing angles. I did recently pick up a cheap W520, same keyboard as the T420, USB 3, an actually decent 1080p screen and a quad core CPU plus a 32GB RAM ceiling. It is a chonker though.

It does but fwiw the T420s has one. I'm pretty sure you can get Express Card USB 3 ports too.

Very true. Fortunately it's a simple procedure to replace the panel with a cheap 1080p one from Aliexpress. Make sure you get the controller too.
