ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 vs W530: Worthy successor to an older ThinkPad?

Searching for a laptop to do work on the go, spreadsheets, some light audio and image editing, and so far this $800 refurbished T16 g3 is the least frustrating.

Prior Contenders:
$4000 M1 Max MacBook Pro: Unusable glossy screen and ultra short travel keyboard paired with laggy animations for Window snapping, the cursor point not clicking pixel perfectly, and no major iPad apps available made me return this machine.

$2700 Framework 16: Battery life, keyboard flex, fan noise, and lack of an Oculink port or better keyboard options killed this for me.

$2250 Asus G16 Ryzen 370: Typical 6 hours or less battery life even with the GPU disabled, plus color shift on black text on the otherwise good OLED display were almost going to be tolerated but the touchpad on max sensitivity can't get across the screen in one finger stroke if your wrist is kept down.

$1300 Lenovo Legion 5i: Battery life not enough to get through a workday, ports misaligned, and more plasticky build had me worried about the quality.

$1400 Lenovo 7i Aura: The most reflective display I've ever seen on a laptop. Perhaps a combination of not putting anti-reflective layers on it, plus adding reflective touch layers.

$800 ThinkPad T16 Gen 3: so far the battery seems to last more than a whole work day which is great as batteries deteriorate overtime. The touchpad is sensitive and precise enough, the screen is non-reflective, keyboard is decent considering the thickness of the laptop, fan is unoffensive. Biggest complaints are fingerprints, and I'd prefer no numpad for a centered touchpad and keyboard.
