I lost all trust and respect for Lenovo after the Superfish debacle. I'm a PC user and wouldn't buy one of their machines on principle. But I wouldn't have said that 6 months ago. Lenovo's user-serviceable and utilitarian design are pretty awesome, and their keyboards are among the best.
Lenovo's batteries really suck. They lose life a lot quicker than Apple's batteries and are very expensive to replace, especially since the primary and optibay batteries tend to die around the same time. At least they're user replaceable.
I'm a fan of Dell's laptops lately. Many newer Dell laptops have good Linux support. Oddly, I think Dell Alienware laptops are great as portable workstation laptops because they're powerful and can stay cool, but YMMV.
