Well made to IBM spec maybe, now it's Lenovo's baby. So I'd expect
quality to drop while they ride on the brand name's success & maximize
profit w/o putting in new effort/$$$.
As to IBM supporting, they certainly did not support at least one case I
came across in the T something series(10, 20?) where the customer wanted
to go form 95 to 98 or 9x to NT/2K (been ~7 years since) and there were
no drivers or support.
Laptops are a tough choice these days if you want your monies worth over
the long haul.

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.
