Lenovo Thinkpad T530.. Any good?

[6300byte]

I'm considering to get a new laptop, since my old one got pixel artifacts on the screen and starts to show its age performance wise. Battery time is approx 30-60 mins, is noisy.. etc It was a good laptop when I bought it though, 4-5 years ago. I like its touchpad, physical switches/wheels for wireless and volume and form factor (15 inch).

Basically, I just want a durable replacement that wont have any annoying issues like a poor touchpad, and stay useful as long as possible. (Even if that costs a little extra)

Any thoughts?
