Thinkpads, for a long time have had a fan speed that's possible, but never reached by the firmware's automatic mode. On Linux, this sets the fan to its true maximum:
# echo disengaged > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
I use the thinkfan utility to run the fan more aggressively, including 'disengaged' over 70C.

So if you are an average user of a Lenovo laptop without technical skills, you probably have a machine that does not meet the advertised performance, and no way to fix it.
