Maybe it has to do with the fact that Lenovo Thinkpad is one of the only premium PC brands. No crapware, just the basics, and quality hardware. I recently got a ThinkPad W530 because it was the only workstation laptop I could find that supports 32gb of ram. It even came with a Core i7 Extreme Edition CPU! Talk about beastly. Before that I had an X201 which wasn't quite the powerhouse but both have been great performance and stability wise. The only downside to Thinkpads is the crowded trackpad. Hourly I seem to accidentally to page/up down while coding. However, it's my only complaint and otherwise the Thinkpads are just fantastic.
