We are not sustainable And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of "feel good" messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here...

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Conversation can be light and fun and not all pedantic technical documents like we've all been replaced by machines already

It's not useful for most, but for some it's irreplaceable. Just like the old serial port. For most people it feels archaic, but for industrial use it's as present as USB is. ThinkPads cater to a huge audience, consisting mostly of technical people.
