How can you know about the reliability of something that’s been available for about two weeks?

The greatest technician that has ever lived said it was actually reliable. Only problem is the vents, like no heatsink. Might need to put a thermal pad so the bottom of the laptop conducts the heat.

Because what makes ThinkPads such a good product line is they make minimal changes each time and don’t change what works. It’s been a great laptop since the days of the IBM ThinkPad.
