Lenovo's development really is sad - each generation has become less serviceable and maintainable, and increasingly static/locked in.

Even if you follow along models with a similar physical footprint as each series has incrementally shrunk over generations (say, compare the 2020 T14 to the t440s).

I've had enough Thinkpads that I lost counter over the years but my next laptop will be of another brand.

Hopefully I won't need a new one until one of the more open alternatives come with a decent 13-14.5" model with 2k display.
