I’m too lazy to look up Lenovos current lineup of products. But atleast 10 years ago when i was somewhat knowledgable on that matter they already had tons of differing SKUs to water down the brand. The $2000 offerings were normally the T and X series. The business juggernauts. T’s for the devs. X’s for the departments who wanted a Macbook Air but werent allowed to have one from corporate for reasons(MS contract). I think there also was also the somewhat rare W-series with workstation GPUs for the engineers.
But Lenovo also branded the L and E series as thinkpads. Which were just shitty entry level laptops with the design cues of a “real” Thinkpad. Whats a “real” Thinkpad? Probably some IBM machine with a Pentium 3 processor if you ask an enthusiast.
