That would depend on how you define best. For some that would be the fastest performance while others want low cost.

Quad core processors from the W530/T530 laptops will work in the T430, but will generate a lot of heat.Therefore only lower end quadcore processors will be tolerable (but still generate and use a lot of heat).

I have the i7-3632QM (35W) in my T430. Idle temperature is around 40C. The only 35W Ivy Bridge quads are the i7-3612/32QM. 45W CPUs will run hot; using the discrete graphics fan assembly with an integrated graphics board is your best bet if you want to use one of those.

False. You can get the ultra-bay battery and it works just fine.
