Lenovo laptops tend to be best bang for buck but ime poor build quality and support. I've sent each of the three I've owned in for warranty repair at some point. It took at least a month for all of them and two of them still died a month or two later from repair-related issues (eg glue around new lcd housing was too weak and it eventually warped / cracked).

Lenovo's consumer products suck but the high end stuff is reasonably solid.

Agreed: in the current lineup, don't buy anything that's not from the X series.

Old lenovo/ibm laptops were so so good with linux, that i still fall back on my t420 from time to time.

Macbooks have similar issues. Months long warranty repairs, glu falls apart in LCD housing, cracking hinges...

At least with lenovo you can buy second laptop, and swap SSD before shipping it away. Repairman will not go through your selfies ;)
