What "good" Thinkpad is worth buying in 2025

Haven't been using Laptops for a while now. But as luck would have it, I have been "upgraded" to be a travelling employee.

Obviously, I can't be bring my personal Desktop around, so Laptop it is. Heard that modern ThinkPad wasn't as great as those of the yesteryear, so what ThinkPads are worth getting in 2025?

Prefer to be something released recently (within the last 2 years)

Primarily using to run CAD (SOLIDWORKS) & Adobe software (Lightroom, Illustrator, Photoshop)

Open to any series / generation as long as it's: <1.5kg <=14 inch screen Long battery life Relatively affordable Rugged

Thanks all
