Ah, I thought those lines didn't make those 'compromises". I'll look into it, thanks!

Nearly every laptop OEM has been making comprimises, if you want a true classic Thinkpad style laptop (thats thick and has good build quality) the MNT Reform is the only option. Its massive, thick, has a mechanical keyboard, has an option for a trackball, and isnt particularly powerful (the Raspberry Pi CM5 is realistically the most powerful thing you can put in it).

They can come with an RK3588, which is more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 5.

Although it loses by a large margin in performance from even my old Dell XPS's Intel i5-7300HQ, the performance isn't great.

That said, that is right in between a ThinkPad T440's 4th gen i5 or i7, so maybe that's not all bad.
