After the "Best Value ThinkPads in 2020" video I released back in February, many were curious what my thoughts were on some of the newer, thinner ThinkPads. I already did an entire video about the T480, but I felt now would be a good time to fill in the gap between the T440p and the T480, with what I think are the best value ThinkPads in the "ultraportable" range. Don't fret if your favorite model isn't featured here - if you're happy with your laptop then that's the best value of all!
Timecodes:

2:51 - T440
5:28 - T440s
6:47 - T450
7:39 - T450s
8:22 - T460
9:25 - T460s
11:36 - Honorable Mentions
13:15 - Performance, battery life, and build quality
16:28 - Conclusion
