2021 Thinkpads

[mikemex]

Don't see the point of ignoring the little differentiation you've got over your competitors, and trying to look and feel ever more like them. But what do I know. If you actually read what he says, it makes no sense, in my opinion. It was an "affair of the heart" (god help us if that was Lenovo all-out), a great success, but we're never doing it again and are scared of our products looking technical. Even just a few or one of them. Don't even try to decipher what a "more coherent" keyboard is.

There is no need to look too much into it. It's just a typical mumbo-jumbo response from a corporate suit who probably can do nothing other than present slide decks prepared by his lackey the night before and recite standard rehearsed responses in business-lingo. Such people are terribly afraid of everything that might require even the smallest bit of creativity or divergence from the square box they are used to living in, and wouldn't recognize innovation and opportunity even if it fell on their head attached to a piano.

Lenovo is not IBM. A mass retailer, not a logistics company.

Modern Thinkpads carry the name but not the spirit.
