Check again.

At least the T580 I worked on was the best quality laptop I've laid my hands on. My current M1 MacBook Pro is close, to some extent. It's a great machine too, and obviously better in performance as it's newer, but in laptop keyboards, ThinkPad's is still no.1, not to talk about the track point that, to this day, no other manufacturer could properly reproduce. I worked with a Dell Latitude (a couple of years ago they were great), but the track point is shit on it.

Regarding maintenance, Lenovo provides detailed disassembly and repair guides, plus you can get replacement parts anytime.

Of course there are shit decisions on the ThinkPad line as well, but I still only can recommend them.

nope. had a T580 which reproducably crashed when you picked it up by the right side. Likely from mainboard flex. And checking online, it's not a unique case.

And two months after the waranty, the ssd control chip or something broke which basically shredded any data on the ssd. Repair would have been almost as expensive as getting a new one.

Now I've switched to framework for work and personal use and don't regret it

Hmm that's unfortunate. Wherever I worked so far, ThinkPads didn't break, even after the warranty expired.

Well, I wish you better luck with your Framework laptop(s) then.
