Before you kill the Thinkpad - how many of them were probably made by Lenovo or even smaller shops before?
The thing that made Thinkpads good buys - personal or especially corporate - was the commitment to supporting the models for quite a while after release, and the confidence that model #xyz always had the same spec or chipset for the life of that model #. You could find bios/driver updates for a few years after models were introduced, often spanning Win version releases, very few if any other manuf's did that.
