    ThinkPad is now Lenovo just FYI. They were acquired some years ago and now Lenovo makes and sells the ThinkPad line of hardware

        Not anymore. Even those are garbage in the last 5ish years.

        Shit build quality and barely repairable

        Stay away from modern thinkpads

            nope. had a T580 which reproducably crashed when you picked it up by the right side. Likely from mainboard flex. And checking online, it’s not a unique case.

            And two months after the waranty, the ssd control chip or something broke which basically shredded any data on the ssd. Repair would have been almost as expensive as getting a new one.

            Now I’ve switched to framework for work and personal use and don’t regret it
