Good. They've ruined the Thinkpad brand, they deserve this.
They deserved this for making the retro thinkpad an overpriced underpowered limited edition piece of shit. If they would just bring back the old keyboards, clit mouse, and 4:3 screens for good then maybe they'd get more sales.
>mfw ibm repurchases thinkpad heralding a new golden age of personal computing
based trump finna dab on them chink niggas
4:3 screens are no longer manufactured
other than that, it wouldn't sell great because businesses wouldn't want it and the people who like old thinkpads pay $200 for them not $1200
>inb4 IBM readquires Thinkpad and launches PS/3 with modern PowerPC architecture.
Unff
>IBM buys thinkpad 1/3 the cost
>ryzenpads everywhere.
We can only dream for now.
had an IRL boner
supply and demand
if there's demand, they're manufactured
it's not like Trump embargoed 4:3 screen or something like that
I'd be content enough with √2:1 or at least 3:2 – all ratios recently employed to recover from the 16:9 mistake and improving on the memetic 16:10 as well
Gosh i want this to be real
They make 4:3 iPad screens and a bunch of 3:2 screens, which are about as good.
Fuck Lenovo, seriously. Let them die.

The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.
Because you can replace any of the parts at all
I really hope IBM doesn't just let ThinkPad die with Lelnovo and buys it back
it doesn`t have this problem becouse its even worse
Why? What actually makes Lenovo worse than anyone else?
see
I want it to happen too, but I don't know. IBM's stock has only been going down and they've been out of the consumer computing market for a while.
>le 56% stock drop
This is what happens when you pump out nothing but chinkshit hardware and ruin several lines of business machines that use to be top notch. I'm a massive ThinkFag myself and I won't buy any ThinkPads made after 2012 or so because they're trash. For newer stuff I've been buying the Dell Latitudes and they're great. They have pretty okay keyboards (all backlit), a trackpoint, a nicer trackpad, same quality screens, and the same rugged plastic and metal casings that I know and love. And they're fully serviceable with replaceable RAM, hard disks, and batteries. The Dell laptops are a bitch to get into because of all the screws but they only use like 3-4 screw sizes. At least they're not glued and soldered.

I should probably follow soon too. Any purchasing advice?
>preinstalled malware in windows
Isn't that redundant?
Why am I getting a boner while browsing Jow Forums?
Just watch a bunch of YouTube videos about them.View images and unboxings of the models you might want to get. Make sure you watch a teardown video to make sure that you can replace every component. Of course the CPU is soldered but every Dell business laptop I've had has replaceable RAM, hard disks, wireless cards, etc. Always buy the models with the trackpoints. That's how you know you aren't getting consumer normie trash.
Keyboard isn't as firm as the one on my X230. It's not mushy, but they keys are sort of too easy to press. They give nice feedback and the shapes of the keys are good, and the layout is fine. I'd compare the keyboard to a mixture of the keycaps from an old aluminum PowerBook with the feel of an IBM X60, R60, or T400 keyboard.
Oh, and one more thing. You absolutely must replace the stock paste on the CPU and GPU within a year or they turn into space heaters. I don't know why but the stock paste gets hard as a rock and they get really hot. I recommend Arctic Silver 5. I repasted this laptop yesterday and my temps dropped like 30F.
How do we get in this timeline?
fuck off with the poozen shit, I want POWER
I agree it's shitty, but is that actually different than what other manufacturers are doing though? Normalfags don't give a fuck about any of that. Apple is worse in a lot of ways, but they're more profitable than anyone. Why is lenovo specifically doing so bad compared to everyone else though?
