Besides lenovo there are no quality laptop PC vendors. Every laptop besides Apple or Thinkpad is garbage.

  Dell buisness laptops aren't horrible. Recent Thinkpad laptops have moved away from good linux compatibility. My 2016 ThinkPad still doesn't have a functional linux fingerprint scanner.

    Are you sure? I'm using a X1 Carbon Gen 5 (which I believe is 2016? maybe 2017), and I read that Linux 4.18 (which comes with Ubuntu 18.10) now has functional fingerprint support. I haven't tried it yet, not a fan of biometric authentication. Either way, the laptop works great with Linux. Edit: Looks like the fprint support is not quite there yet: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/54 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/54

    > Dell business laptops aren’t horrible. Yes they are. Try a thinkpad or a MacBook to see what you are missing.
