A top Lenovo exec said he'd "bet a paycheck" that Motorola will be the third-biggest smartphone brand in 3 years, laying down a challenge to Apple and Samsung.
The old ones are good, but the newer ones are disappointing. I had a 9th gen X1 specced out and it was unusable for development. It would thermal throttle after only 2 minutes on anything more than 40% CPU. Keyboard was nice and screen was ok, but the thermals and battery life was horrible.
I absolutely had the X1 in my sights when I said they weren't always great. It's a laptop line that somehow misses every point of why people buy ThinkPads in the first place but because it looks good reviewers eat it up.
…Though you're absolutely correct that this problem is getting worse with newer models besides the X1 chasing whatever reviewers liked about the X1 line.
