Lenovo's got some decent product lines. If they had a Y740 that looked normal, I'd buy it since my GF also gets an employee discount of like 60% on certain products. The Y740 is insanely powerful, got like a whole RTX2080 in there.
For thinkpads, I'm still looking for a decent refurb. Most of them in this area are pretty shit, or have had parts swapped out to try and scam people. Just want a 250GB SSD, any CPU, 8GB RAM and the 1600x900 screen at a price less than 400$. That too much to ask?
Buying them new is too expensive, except for the X1 Carbon because that one also has decent specs and looks normal.
Don't have much of an opinion on Dell since the only Dell product I own is a dedicated server that's collecting dust in my basement. When I was playing around with it, though, it was pretty cool. Fancy Xeon 3GHz in there, and a RAID5 setup (I think) of 125GB drives (1TB). Ubuntu server and away we go.
