Now I am not saying these things are good. Usually they consist of a ratty Windows image that the IT admins have created (or more likely "evolved" over time) full of bugs and driver / software incompatibilities. And the worst thing is that they install this image on every machine regardless of hardware. It just hurts XD
I would almost prefer the preinstalled (potentially insecure) image over that!

The new T series, X series and L series are built leveraging the core tenets of design, innovation and quality and focus on providing a broad customer choice and a smarter workforce experience.
When the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 was announced this week, people were astounded that the Intel version of this ThinkPad laptop was said to feature RJ45 Ethernet and upgradable RAM, while the datasheet of the AMD version featured neither. We asked Lenovo if this was true - and it turns out that the spec-sheet released by Lenovo was wrong.
