So now, if this Smart Paper Tablet isn't branded as a "Think" tablet with the Thinkpad line, I wouldn't buy it unless I'd be happy to use it as-is, out of the box without updates forever. Just in case it never gets updates.

I'll second this - had a Yogabook c930 that Lenovo apparently abandoned. It was imo practically a work of art in terms of hardware but the lcd/eink switching never worked right. Updates got more infrequent and often made things worse; could never read a book on the eink screen in peace without that stupid lcd deciding to randomly light up and drain the battery. After a year with that device, I sold it with a heavy heart and at a loss. I'm scared of Lenovo, frankly - they can make amazing designs but stuff like this will keep me away from all but the Thinkpads.
