I'm on my 3rd Thinkpad (P52, P1 Gen 2, P17) and had a Dell 17" XPS 9700 in the mix. The Dell was horrible. It's intake vents were on the bottom so if you put it on a soft surface like a couch or bed, it would immediately overheat to the point of turning off within 5 minutes. I tried everything. Never got the webcam or speakers to work in Linux. Keyboard sucked.
But every Lenovo I use is fantastic. I like the rugged look and bulkiness. I don't buy my laptop to look cool; I buy it to code, run vms, compile fast, and get work done. Lenovos have excellent Linux compatibility and the best keyboards anyways.
