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.

Laptop weight scale

Is a mess. So many questions. 68.117.48.13 (talk) 15:48, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

29 classes? Each listed twice? 68.117.48.13 (talk) 18:18, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At least some of the weights appear to have been originally in lbs but taken as a weight in kg, then converted, then taken and somehow converted again so that the final weight in kg is almost four times what it should be. E.g.: the T14s is actually about 3.3 lbs or 1.5 kg. It is reported as 5.5 kg or 12 lbs, nearly 4 times what it should be. The X1 Yoga is reported at an absurd 53 lbs! Unless someone can fix this with reliable numbers, I'll have to delete the column in a few weeks, as it otherwise creates the impression that Thinkpads are the world's heaviest (and most unlikely) laptops.

Proposed merge of Lenovo ThinkPad Stack into ThinkPad#ThinkPad Stack (2015–current)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was Merge. TRL (talk) 22:53, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This already seems to include all the relevant information, and I don't see a need to break this up into a separate article. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 00:10, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think this computer is notable and it could be expanded a bit more. I would like to have more ThinkPad series to be separate and have the main ThinkPad article a bit trimmed down in the future. PhotographyEdits (talk) 12:45, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge on the grounds of short text, overlap and context. The two sentence at Lenovo ThinkPad Stack are entirely redundant given the better-developed ThinkPad#ThinkPad Stack (2015–current). Klbrain (talk) 06:40, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

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]
