FWIW, I switched from X270 to X13 Gen2 AMD (5850U, 32GB) recently and the difference has been night-and-day - even just web browsing on X270 caused audible noise, while X13G2A is practically completely silent unless I do something very demanding.

So maybe look into T14s Gen2 AMD (which may be pretty similar to X13 Gen2 since they share the HW maintenance manual). But YMMV of course, and I have no experience of M1.

Be aware the screens on X13 and T14/T14s are pretty lacklustre for colour reproduction

They have some screen upgrade options, fwiw

Have a T14s Gen1, can confirm that compared to the T470 it replaced it's lighter and quieter under load.

I wouldn't do image editing on anything in the line but for dev work the T14 has been great.
