Thinkpad TransNote and possible solution to avoid listing all models

This is another notable model that is unique for its time. See http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:TransNote It should be in the list for historical purposes.

I am mentioning it here instead of adding it to the page because of the concern that the page is turning into a product brochure.

We could summarise all the models under production lines. Each with a couple of sentences describing its unique positioning, followed by notable models as needed (but not list all models.) If particular models are noteworthy they can be described in a separate article where detail technical specifications can be shown.

Eg:

T Series (2000-current)

Mainstream business and performance line with user-upgradeable and serviceable components and larger batteries.

T Series with "s" suffix (2000-current)

Thinner and lighter variants of the T models with less RAM and smaller batteries.

T Series with "p" suffix (2000-current)

Professional variants of the T models with more powerful CPUs, higher capacity memory and storage, and discrete GPUs.

Lenovo not only makes ThinkPads and IdeaPads

""Lenovo laptop" redirects here. For other uses, see IdeaPad." Lenovo also makes Legion laptops, Yoga, ThinkBook..... Luhanopi (talk) 07:40, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

V-Series

I just stumbled on a V130, and there seems to be a series of V-machines. Can this be mentioned?

Validity of "Promotional content" tag

The "Features and technologies" section is tagged for "promotional content" or peacock words. I can see examples of this with words like "unique" or "unusual" or the sentence "That keyboard, referred to as a butterfly keyboard, which is widely considered a design masterpiece"... However, these terms apply neutrally as "unique" or "unusual" are used to describe how the thinkpad series has many features that are generally uncommon among all laptops. The butterfly keyboard being widely considered a "design masterpiece" is not weasel words or excessively promotional, there are several reliable sources linked, and the keyboard is literally in the museum of modern art. Should we really keep this tag..? User:EvilMrEggnog (talk) 00:04, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
