Fwiw, I have a refurbished ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9 14" i7-1165G7 1TB/32GB and I'm very happy with it. @Car also said it's very light.
I can't say anything about any Nano model or Carbon Gen 7 or 8 though.
I would just make sure whatever you get has at least 16GB of RAM.
Have you tried running Linux though?
How is the two-finger scrolling on the touchpad? That's the only complaint i have about my Thinkpad, but i'm not sure if i have a defective unit... mine is just really finicky

It's not easy, but for a while i was doing so much work on GIMP (where I was using two-finger scrolling A LOT) that I got pretty familiar with the quirks.

ok, so i guess it's not just me then. I have both a Macbook and a Thinkpad, and the 2-finger scroll is sooooo much better on the macbook that when I got the Thinkpad I thought something might be wrong.

yes. I spent so many years using trackpads because I never really had a desk or significant flat surface on which to work that I'm more familiar with trackpads than mouses at this point.

i am. it's the screen (there's a 4cm band of pixels that are super distorted). and the battery is fully dead. and some of the keys don't work. and one usb port is gone. and it really started struggling when I bumped up to ubuntu 22 (because 20,04 is no longer supported, I think).
