Only a handful of classic Lenovo devices (e.g. X230) achieved "aftermarket ecosystem" status, where enthusiasts and repair shops have kept devices working 10+ years after launch, sometimes with screen or other upgrades. How did the Thinkpad 25th anniversary edition fare for laptop longevity? Have any recent Thinkpad models gained "collector item" status?
There are external Lenovo USB keyboards with Trackpoints. If Lenovo wants to copy Apple, they could make a detachable $300 MagicTrackPoint keyboard for 2-in-1 Lunar Lake devices.
- happycube 2y agoIt was obvious the day it came out that the X25 was one CPU generation too early (dual core "i7") and even moreso now with Windows 11. If it had a T480 motherboard instead it would've held up a lot better. (also, a ThinkPad without a trackpoint is de facto, even if not from a legal perspective, false advertising, just like those dual-core i7's.)
