Lenovo Thought They Were Apple...Got A Harsh Reality Check

ThinkPads look like relics. Matte black slabs, boxy frames, and that weird little red dot in the keyboard. But for decades, they earned a cult following by doing one thing insanely well: getting out of the way and letting people work. They were boring on purpose. Built around muscle memory, durability, and consistency, they became the ultimate tool laptop for engineers, IT teams, and anyone who lived on a keyboard. Then Lenovo decided ThinkPads needed to be modern. Inspired by Apple, they chased sleeker designs, bigger touchpads, and fewer buttons. In 2013, that thinking led to the infamous Clunkpad era, where Lenovo removed the dedicated TrackPoint buttons and replaced them with a single giant clickpad. On paper it sounded fine. In reality it shattered decades of workflow and made loyal users furious. Misclicks were constant, scrolling broke, the pad was loud and imprecise, and the machines felt flimsier than the tanks that came before. Fans hated it so much they started modding brand new laptops just to bring the old buttons back. Lenovo eventually admitted defeat and reversed course, restoring the ThinkPad identity before the damage became permanent. Years later, Lenovo tried again, this time with better tech and a lighter touch. The lesson was clear: ThinkPad users never wanted flashy. They wanted a tool that worked, every single day, without surprises.
