I would go even farther than this. The "real" ThinkPad lines after the T420/X220 generation (T440, X1, W series, etc.) have had many of the traits that make ThinkPads unique, such as the spillproof keyboard, TrackPoint with physical buttons except for the T440 generation, incredibly durable structure, and relatively high upgradeability.

The upgradeability has certainly decreased, but unlike most laptops on the market the losses in most ThinkPad lines typically felt like genuine tradeoffs rather than the product of laziness. I, for one, don't want a machine that weights 2.5 kg or more, and this is possible with the modern ThinkPad line while still having a replaceable keyboard, 14" display, RAM, 2.5" disk drive, two batteries, WLAN, etc.
