Depending on the use case I would always also think about battery runtime, 
something where the W520 fails.
I would always always think about a x230 which runs so well under Qubes and can 
be coreboot'ed.

Out of interest, why are you not recommending the W540? I have both (x230 and 
W540) and the biggest benefit of the W540 is the high resolution display.
Unfortunately it doesn't support Coreboot and build quality is not as nice as 
the older x230 series.

The x230 only supports 16gb ram and he said he wants more.

Obviously because not only does it have ME it also has no open source 
firmware, it also has the crappy chiclet keyboard and you can't swap it 
out like one can with a x230/t430 etc.
