As people observed here, Lenovo has totally ruined ThinkPad line. It used to stand out and mean something. It was known for its robustness ( spill-proof, shock-proof etc), uncompromising keyboard ( so not just "great" keyboard) and repairability and extensibility.
Now 99% of that is gone. ThinkPad came to the point, where it's hard to tell it apart from IdeaPad.
I'm totally sure that, had they staid on that original trajectory, Thikpads would have as die-hard public as Apple has.
EVEN TODAY, people are looking for used prehistoric Thinkpads ( T430 etc) just because of old keyboard.
Who cares about even 5mm more or extra lbs on such machine ?
