Second that notion about not being IBM. Currently on a quite new Carbon X1 (from '24), because my previous one (five years old) started having issues (internal monitor flickering, staying black for some time, keyboard falling apart…), which was in turn a replacement for a T430s. That was preceeded by a T400s. The T4x0s still run without issue, so I found quite the drop in quality from the Ts to the X1s, especially the keyboard.
All of those of course were no match for my trusty old T43, that was one beast of a machine.
Lenovo ThinkPad T495. It is definitely not an IBM ThinkPad 😕 But it does the job well enough that I can’t motivate an upgrade.
