(Lenovo) Thinkpads, specifically many of the X, T and P products, are best in class. All the Linux things just work at this point, and have for the last 5-10 years. Some products ship with Fedora or Ubuntu. Those lines have the highest end individual products with the best build quality, and user-serviceable/replaceable components. Other Lenovo laptops are either less good or much less good/absolute crap.

I have several Framework laptops, to be supportive of alternative supply chains. They are great with Linux compatibility, all the things work, but in terms of build, they are much less mature from a long term maturity and tolerances perspective. The new 13 Pro is probably a pretty solid machine, though.

I occasionally have to work on Dells or HPs for clients, and just don't like the keyboards or the fit/finish. I had a couple of earlier system 76 machines, they did not last and the keyboards also were not comparable to a Thinkpad.
