apologies for the 'meching but it's something like: 19XX-2013: all models use the same barrel plug 2013+ W models use a new barrel plug, T models keep using the old barrel plug 2014+ T models use a USB type plug

who gives a poo poo what power plug the thing uses? do you regularly forget your adapter at home like a moron and have to beg one from the only other coworker with a thinkpad? who is probably a smelly goon with a 1998 thinkpad powered by a pentium II because all he does is run regedit.exe?

every single person in this building has a thinkpad and a dock every single meeting room has a power supply in the desk so yes, when you're lugging around your crappy W530 that can't really go for more than an hour without being plugged in it's a pain that the power supply in the meeting room doesn't fit crawling around under the desk to extract the power supply from the dock is a pain

A friend's Sony laptop's power supply burned his apartment to the ground. Sony gave him enough that he could just instantly uproot and start a new life in Manhattan. Been about 10 years now. good guy, we keep in touch

We make a buncha money by selling lightly used chargers for $20 plus tax to people whose strain reliefs broke so I am not sure you are correct on this point.

Superfish comes with Lenovo consumer products only and is a technology that helps users find and discover products visually. The technology instantly analyzes images on the web and presents identical and similar product offers that may have lower prices, helping users search for images without knowing exactly what an item is called or how to describe it in a typical text-based search engine.
