Thinkpads are fantastic, but no matter what you do, do not purchase any of the T*40's (T440, T540, etc) - Lenovo fucked up that round of releases hard (tried to move from discrete touchpad keys to integrated touchpad). If you're a developer that's a fan of running your own systems, Thinkpads can generally run Linux systems with minimal effort (seriously - I bought an X220 recently, and getting Windows working on it was more effort than getting Arch Linux to work). /r/Thinkpad is also a fantastic resource if you want purchase advice.
