Quality went downhill since Lenovo.

Meh, I'd agree that they aren't quite built like a tank anymore, but my T560 is still going strong after nearly 8 years. Not bad going.

Yeah but he was talking about modern Lenovos, not 8 year old ones.

Lenovo bought ThinkPad in 2005. The T560 was released in 2016, 11 years later. Plenty of time for the supposed reductions in quality to have occurred.

Yeah but that doesn't mean anything for the Lenovo laptops of today.

Well, he didn't say recent Lenovos were poor quality. He said they went downhill after Lenovo, which was 18 years ago.

So what quality issues affect them now specifically? I will be in the market for another laptop in a year or so, and my default would always be a ThinkPad.

And my 3 year old Lenovo is doing fine.

6 year old T series that the kids adopted is also taking abuse well.
