For me it's Dell's Xps Laptops. My colleagues and I have some and they are always broken. We got replacements for the screen, fans (so many broken fans...), motherboard, docking Station, battery (swelled),... Don't by it!

I have an extensive recent personal history with looking to people like linus tech tips for laptop reccs, buying a dell xps as they suggest and then experiencing they are awful compared to anything made 10 years ago
Had a same issue with their Studio line a few years back. It was a ship of Thesus situation. Each and every part was more or less replaced.

I have a Thinkpad T450s and there's been no issue in the past 5 years of owning it.

I have experienced the same. What did you move to? Everyone seems to recommend XPS, especially for linux support.
I would want to know this as well, latest Thinkpads are not as user serviceable anymore, Lenovo said they will support Linux on some models. I wish Panasonic Toughbook 55 were officially supporting Linux, that's a great looking modular machine.
