Clearly the T4x0 is easier to carry than the T5x0.
Though the X series is supposed to be the easiest to carry. I have memories of jogging around Ottawa with an old A-series Thinkpad on my back, and I was younger back then. I've tended toward the laptop being for away only, and a proper desktop machine at home, but laptop performance has gotten up to the point of making sense as a primary machine, and then there isn't the hassle of maintaining two systems and the laptop always being woefully out of date and needing a lot of OS updates and personal file transfers when being pulled out for a trip. (Maybe a compute server, or render farm, at home is still an option for the occasional thing needing a lot of horsepower...) It looks like the X220 is the last X-series machine from before Lenovo got silly, and the i7-based models can be had with USB3 for moving data around. That last feature is something I don't see on as many current Thinkpads as I thought I should. -- Anthony de Boer
