Perhaps the ThinkPad you're talking about isn't one of the flagship series (X, T, W mostly). There are a variety of other models Lenovo brands as ThinkPads that are build to look similar to these ThinkPads.

I can add, though, that the hinge in my T450s is by no means as cheap and flexible as those in a rMBP or any slew of other Windows laptops. I can open it to 180 degrees or anywhere in-between and it stays there even while I shake the laptop (far better than the rMBP I had for work and previous laptops I've owned). The outer casing of my (AFAIK carbon fiber/fiberglass) T450s also feels firmer and stronger than that of a rMBP where the metal outer shell flexes, probably due to the lack of a solid skeleton support system inside. These little things just inspire confidence in me that few other products can, personally.

You might be right, and my memory is fuzzy, but I'm pretty certain it was a T-series laptop. It had the five trackpad buttons, trackpoint, square edges and rubberized lid, keyboard light, etc. We also had a T40 that was beat up from shop use, and I remember the difference in quality between the two was painfully obvious. The new machine felt like an imitation.
