Of all the major PC manufacturers, I have no difficulty believing Lenovo could be a leader in this area because their design and build quality are superior. I have very well used ThinkPad T430s that continues to function well under Linux. It's ancient hardware but it's rugged and well built so it's less likely to end up as e-waste.
I have a very new Thinkpad (X1 extreme Gen 5) and it has been a lot of trouble. Started out with a bad battery which I had to get support to change out. A few months later one of the fans jammed, and instead of being replaceable like on older models, it was welded to the Mainboard, meaning that the entire board needed to be replaced, CPU GPU and all. A few months later, my performance took a huge hit, and I needed to get the Mainboard replaced yet again. The customer support was really great, but they definitely don't build them like they used to.
That's truly disappointing! ๐
