Two notes on the X, P, and T laptops:
Lenovo's case design does not provide support for the USB-C connectors. The only support is the connector's attachment to the motherboard. If the port is damaged, the motherboard must be replaced.
If you only use USB-C ports with the laptop securely on a table or in a stand, this is not an issue. Sitting the laptop vertically on the floor, with the charger plugged in, and having it tip over onto a chair leg was enough to break the port loose. If you are used to Apple laptops, which provide significant support for USB-C connectors via the case, this may come as a surprise.
If you are coming from a lifetime of Apple laptops: primary cooling is done through the bottom of the laptop. Using it on a lap, pillow, carpet, blanket, etc may adversely impact performance / increase fan noise.
Other than these use-case specific issues, I've enjoyed the laptops. Get the upgraded screens if it fits your budget -- the low cost screens are intended for bulk purchases for corporate use and feel like using a laptop from 10+ years ago.
Current Lenovos: P1 (2020), X1 Carbon (2018), T14s (2019).
Edited to add note about Apple's cases providing USB-C connector support.
