I used a TP from the 2013, 2014 era, and I have my current main laptop as a TP from 2017...
The old TP was fantastic. Really out of date hardware, but it did the job. New one is great, in theory (spec-wise), but its a much cheaper build, breaks more, and just generally has far more issues than I remember with the old one. I think I had one in the middle too which was just straight up an awful peice of junk...
When Lenovo got bought out by China, they weren't really that smart - they tried to consumerize their TP and thereby cut costs - the features they brought back to modern TPs are still nice but you just don't get the same attention to detail anymore...IMHO.
