My issues with Thinkpads:
- They seem to be getting worse for repairability and build quality with each new generation. Everyone who raves seems to be running older generations (yours is comparatively not too old).
- Trying to buy new is an exercise in frustration because of their ridiculous pricing. Either get gouged outside a sale paying a huge premium over competitors, or wait for the right sale and get a competitive (but not cheap) price.
- dathinab 5y agomany Thinkpad models in similar sizes are also also limited to 16GiB of RAM. And while the are up and downs with the quality there seen to be a general downward trend. Like my previous Thinkpad didn't had any major defects after the years but with my current one after not quite the years the mousepad broke (the coating is damaged getting slowly worse starting as just an annoyance to now frequently registering phantom middle clicks). Similar while using custom secure boot platform keys have been working with Thinkpad T series for years, for the lastish T14 series a non distinguishable subset of them gets bricked by it.
