A T495s to replace my aging T430. The T430 is still quite usable, but the original battery with 34% health isn't great, though it gets through a 2 hour lecture no problem.

I do miss the trackpoint buttons and smaller trackpad, I tend to move the mouse with my palm while using the trackpoint, but otherwise the new one is better in every way.

I have had pretty good luck with fingerprint scanners, most just seem to work. If you have some Bluetooth headphones I would be interested to hear how those do, that's mostly what I had issues with. Good to hear about sleep though, it's kinda rough to have a laptop without working sleep mode.

Paired my Galaxy Buds Pro to the laptop, took a while for them to appear on the list but they do work fine.
