Do you consider X9 14" and 15" as real ThinkPads despite the missing TrackPoint?

Lenovo can obviously clone any IdeaPad or Yoga they want and slap a ThinkPad logo on it – but there's a difference between a marketing brochure and a true brand identity as perceived by the fans. I'm just curious what people here think about the X9, which I personally consider a beautiful ThinkBook.
