> Lenovo intends to keep Motorola’s distinct brand identity–just as they did when they acquired ThinkPad from IBM in 2005.

In other words, they will keep the brand label on the products while destroying everything that makes the brand.

For the ThinkPad, that would be (among other things) a solid keyboard that closely matches a desktop keyboard and doesn't change from model to model, a TrackPoint with three physical buttons, a quality display, and serviceability up the wazoo.

Ask any ThinkPad fanatic like me - yes, we exist - just how good a job Lenovo has done of keeping "ThinkPad's distinct brand identity."

OK, after a few years in the darkness with low-resolution TN displays, Lenovo is finally shipping ThinkPads with modern high-DPI IPS displays. That's great!

You just have to accept their new and "improved" keyboards, and TrackPoints with no buttons, to get it.
