I'm not sure I'd want to buy anything from Lenovo, due to their labor practices:
> "Shipping records show that since the start of the pandemic, Lenovo has imported an estimated 258,000 laptops from a Chinese manufacturer that has participated in a troubling labor scheme and been singled out by the U.S. government for violating human rights. The revelations serve as a reminder of how much of the supply chain is tied to forced labor and how many products that will aid us through the Covid-19 pandemic may be manufactured under duress. The Lenovo computers were made by the manufacturer Hefei Bitland, which participates in a Chinese government program to provide factories with cheap labor from persecuted Uyghurs."

- pedrogpimenta 6y agoSo what do you suggest? I've been eyeing a Thinkpad, my first pc in 20 years. Do we know that other manufacturers don't have the same practices? I also don't want to jump to a small manufacturer just yet, I want to get used to having a pc after being mac-only.
