Yes, sadly they are becoming average computers and loosing their original ThinkPad ethos. Most are no longer so easy to service and come with soldered components. Cooling systems tend to be mediocre. Noisy and can no longer be tweaked. ThinkLight is gone. Keyboards with big ESC and some important dedicated keys are gone, etc. I wish they brought back machines like the x220 with modern internals and silent cooling.
