Huh, TIL.

I'll assume I'm right to give them a second chance, maybe it's just the X1 that's going awry? I've read a lot of reports about the X1's 2013 models that describe the issue that occurred to mine.

It was possible until quite recently for businesses to order Lenovo machines with IBM branding.
