I bought a T495 recently. It’s the worst ThinkPad I ever owned. (After a T60, a X301 and a X250). With modern ThinkPads you have the choice between slightly thicker notebooks T4… series and decent cooling and shitty build quality and thinner, higher build quality (T4…s, and X…) and virtually non existing cooling (thermal throttles the minute you are trying to use the CPU) T495 has weird bugs (S and K keys not working after suspend); and is extremely vulnerable to what I assume are static charges; meaning if I push it over my mattress (to make room to climb into the bed) it shuts down. Never had the issue with any notebook before; Never occurred to me that this could be a problem. Battery life is crap as well.

To be fair, one ending in a 5 is an AMD, which has had considerably worse battery life than Intel for a decade, and is also probably somewhat to blame for suspend/sleep bugs. It might be hard to discern if you have ThinkPad issues or AMD issues, and I would not coorelate your AMD issues back to Intel ThinkPads. Battery life should have been a known expectation going into buying one.

I don't think the thermal throttling thing is accurate. I have the X1 Carbon from 2019 and I can run my CPU continuously over 3Ghz.
