You know what, that is exactly what Lenovo executives were telling their customers right up until the moment that Apple released Retina devices. Lenovo swore in a blog post that because of the overall panel market it was quite impossible to put an IPS display in a laptop, then a few days later Apple released a 221 DPI 15" IPS MacBook Pro.

Apple definitely has the grunt I'm talking about to push the supply chain to change.

If all thinkpads did the same thing, then maybe they would.

If it was the flagship laptop (t14s or x1 carbon) then, yeah.

Otherwise, no.

Lenovo is a smaller player by far than HP or Dell, and less focused than Microsoft or Apple (commanding lower prices on average also).

The most popular thinkpad is actually the E14, which is a budget notebook. Most finance departments can’t tell the difference and its usually developers getting the good hardware, so we have a warped perspective.
