The 11e is indeed a ThinkPad. You might not think it's deserving of the name, but that's where ThinkPad is these days.
I've had a bunch of ThinkPads over the years and two are still in use.
I have a T520 that I now use basically as a terminal. It's a very creaky, heavy, machine that never gave me more than about 3 hours of battery, and the keyboard was terrible. But it sits there and keeps working (I use an external keyboard, monitor, and mouse).
I also have a ThinkPad Yoga 12.5. I really like the keyboard, but again the battery life isn't weak (4 hours). I occasionally think about getting something a little bigger, but the small size is pretty nice for traveling.
