There is Thinkpad T25 25th anniversary edition[1]. It has "modern" spec, while still having that traditional keyboard of t420
Also iirc there are projects that make Motherboard that fit in old thinkpad chassis. It has very impressive spec: 8 core Zen3 AMD cpu and 32gb ram. Some M2 slot etc.

I currently have this T25. But it’s mostly a gimmick. Once the coolness wore off it’s just a midrange T470 under the hood.
Still trucking after 7 years though. But I can’t upgrade it to Win 11 lol
You can combine it with a top-line T480 if you want! https://www.xyte.ch/mods/t25-frankenpad/

Nothing of value has been lost :^) (But if you really need Win 11, there are workarounds)
Keyboard is a bit nicer, but that's probably about it.
Had to use Scroll Lock just yesterday. Which, well, I can't on my x13 :-(
