The enterprise level Lenovo Thinkpads that I worked with at my job several years ago (2016-1017) were built like a brick sh!thouse. slower than crap, but that was likely due to the fact that they were close to 5 or 6 years old at the time. installing ODBC drivers for Oracle 11 took forever. the new Dells that the company bought to replace them were way nicer, way faster. the second round of Dells that replaced the first round were complete junk out of the box. most had hardware issues and design was poor compared to the first round. I thought i was getting an upgrade when they told me in 2021 that my 4 year old Dell needed replacing due to complaints of batteries swelling up. (mine did not have the issue and worked perfectly) the new ones... man I hate that pos.. been dealing with it for over 4 years now.
The consumer level Lenovo Thinkpads are also junk. got one of those in 2021, and something in it does not play nice with Office 365 which my wife needed on it. it would slow down and basically take 4 to 5 minutes to type in a web address because of maxing out cpu and ram. get rid of Orifice 365, it was ok. replaced that with a similarly spec'd ASUS laptop less than a year later which I found out had the same motherboard as the Lenovo, the only major differences were the ASUS had a back lit keyboard and the Lenovo had a touchscreen. ASUS has been rock solid, Orifice 365 works fine on it, and it has been handed down to my 14 year old son who uses it to play minecraft and school work/ papers.
For my Win 11 laptop, I got an MSI "gaming" laptop from Costco back in January. pretty decent laptop, although i use finger quotes on gaming as the GPU falls a bit short in that category. but it has a 1tb ssd drive, 32GB of RAM and works great. got it on sale for 700, normal price of 1000.
