If anything, the Thinkpad keyboard is basically trickled down to other Lenovo's product. Obviously not the same keyboard and no Trackpoint, but Lenovo laptop's keyboard is still one of the best I've type for a laptop.

Definitely. The keyboards on the Yoga, Legion and LOQ for example are all really nice. The first is about £400 off at Currys right now in the UK, about £1,700 for a really nice, premium and thin laptop with a 4060 and 13th gen i9, 32gb RAM and really nice screen.

I think the funniest thing ever is the fact that I love ThinkPad keyboards and love typing on them, but I'm somehow slightly faster on the modern Apple Magic keyboards which I hate typing on, it feels like I'm barely in control and hitting tic tacs instead of keys, but I still type faster on it. It baffles me.

Fun note about replacing that hard disk drive with that ssd. Hitachi bought IBM's hard drive business in 2003, basically merging it's own disk drive unit with IBM's. That combined unit was sold to and merged with Western Digital in 2012. Due to a series of anti-trust considerations in China, Western Digital couldn't fully combine with the spun off disk drive unit until 2015~2017. In the middle of that in 2016, Western Digital also bought flash manufacturer SanDisk-- which is how a product like the WD Blue solid state SATA drive became possible.

Nooo, you are doing things wrongly. I have an X61, same year and same T7500 with 4gb ram (8gb is possible) in 12 inch format, 1.4 kg weight. Its perfectly usable, plays 720/1080p yt videos no problem (with a bit of a tweak), opens up multiple tabs in Floorp, boots up in 35 secs even with that Sata I speed limit of 150mb/s. The difference being, I installed Linux Mint Xfce on it, something like Gnome is bloated too much, and Windows 10 with no tweaks as well. I managed to load Windows 11 lite on T61 I sold, it wasn't that bad. The only issue I have with X61 is no media decoding, meaning if I want to watch something on an external screen, it has lines when a lot of movement happens, which I will solve by buying 20$ broadcom media decoding mpcie card. I just bought 2 X61s untested on ebay to get L7500 which has 17W TDP, so I can transfer its motherboard into X61, and get much better thermals.
