Lenovo isn't close. I have several generations of X1 Carbons, and they all do terrible things like:

- Scratch their own screens when lids are closed - Have failing LCD connectors (especially true with my 4k variant). - Flex terribly.

I bought an M2 Air recently, and it's a far better machine.

To be fair Macbooks will still scratch their screen if they weren't using glass, Thinkpads don't if they have the glass varient as well. There isn't a true Matte option for Apple and it shows why, even if there ever release the nano frosted version it loses to basic Matte panels for range and glare or lack of.
Apple computers used to break their own plastic by hitting themselves with the closing magnets and some protruding pieces of plastic.

I guess it's why they make them of metal now… Less problems with bad design and using the user as a heat sink.

I think metal tends to conduct heat more, so in the fan era they can run quieter
My 14 inch MB Pro also scratches and stains its own screen with the lid closed. It's the only problem I have with this machine.
