I went from an x61 to a Tablet 2, and it's been lovely (the bluetooth keyboard with trackpoint makes it usable as a laptop for me). Every generation of thinkpad in the past decade plus seems to've been decried as terrible by at least some people whose opinion I respect, and then I've bought another one and it's worked fine. I have a feeling that while there may also be some degree of decline, a lot of this is that when a thinkpad's good, it's sufficiently good that when we have trouble with one we judge it far more harshly than normal.
