Check what facts? No model number was provided. The ThinkPad spans decades. We don't even know if this is an IBM era or Lenovo era Thinkpad.
That it has e-SATA would put it in the Lenovo-era, possibly one of the models that still had the IBM badging.
For the humor-impaired, there were also ThinkPads with an IrDA port too.
Or they were making a joke about ridiculous things that engineers were putting in all kinds of random devices for a while there and you got huffy about it.
We don't know your life or what you know. And not all of us are memorizing old laptop models or care enough to look them up.
Conversation can be light and fun and not all pedantic technical documents like we've all been replaced by machines already
By someone trying to make a casual joke to make conversation? Holy moly dude, tell me you don't get much socializing in with less words next time.
