Thinkpads feel well made but the screens are mostly terrible and the trackpad design is very dated.

I’m not sure why Lenovo doesn’t use better IPS panels, they can’t be saving that much margin from them.

Not a huge sample size, but the screen on my X1 Nano looks excellent. Competitive with my 2018 11” iPad Pro’s screen visually, if a bit lower PPI.

That’s one of the highest end ThinkPads though, so I guess that’s to be expected. Have heard that getting a good panel on more mainstream models like the T-series can be tough.

I love the dated trackpad design, specially when combined with the rubber mouse.
