For the past 8 years, I have used 2 Lenovo Thinkpad models (the current one is E series, don't remember the exact model of the previous one). Used both of them with a Linux OS. I have had no issues with either of these over the past 8 years and their performance too has been excellent - I use these just for development activities which involves working on IDEs, running multiple servers (for coding and testing with them) and for the usual browsing and other things. I am not a video/gaming user. The only issue that I sometimes have with them is that they heat up really quick, so using them on your laps is a problem. It's not a problem for me, because, most of the times, I use them connected to an external monitor, keyboard and a mouse - it's pretty much on my table with its lid closed down.
