Well, maybe. My Thinkpad experience has been good, but not amazing.
I own two Thinkpads, a 5th generation X1 carbon and a 2nd generation X1 extreme. Both very nice machines, but not perfect.
On the newer machine in particular, the X1 extreme, I've had many annoying issues.
Suspend did not work for over a year after purchase. If the laptop was left with the lid shut it would run out of battery in a couple of hours. It finally started working with Fedora 32. I don't know if it was fixed because of kernel updates or firmware updates. The laptop still uses way too much power when suspended, but at least I can stick it in my laptop bag for a few hours.
Until Fedora shipped with Gnome running under Wayland, the integrated graphics were too slow to acceptably render the desktop at 4K, which is the native resolution of the panel, and the only resolution choice I am presented with in Gnome. I enabled the nvidia GPU with the proprietary driver, but then I'd get less than 2 hours of battery, and the thing could cook an egg. Compared to my 2012 Macbook Pro, which also has integrated graphics, the experience is much worse, even today, with Wayland.
Battery life is not as good as Windows by default. For some reason, every Linux user with a laptop has to install tlp and powertop just to get decent battery life. Kernel development seems to consistently focus on this, and I'm confident than the situation is incrementally improving.
The synaptics touchpad is hot garbage. If you compare it to a Mac's touchpad, it's just a tragedy how bad it is. I've used both the synaptics driver with Xorg and libinput with Wayland. There is noticeable lag when moving the mouse cursor from a resting position. The cursor will stay where it is, and then jump to where it ought to have moved to. This produces a very jarring UX. Interestingly, the nipple mouse does not have this problem. Finally, the scrolling gestures don't always work, depending where on the touchpad you initiate them.
The keyboard would reproducibly lose keystrokes! This was not fixed until last week by a Lenovo firmware update, and it produced a lot of irritating typos when conversing with coworkers.
Not that I care, but the fingerprint reader doesn't work.
The sound is too quiet even at full volume, so you have to tweak the system config to allow you to adjust it past its default max volume.
I use Linux as a workstation operating system because I write software destined to run on Linux. Despite these problems, I would gladly take them over having to virtualize my entire workflow on a Mac, which I find incredibly painful to do. But these quality problems have left me wondering if Lenovo was the right laptop brand to buy. I left a negative review with Lenovo, after they solicited me to write one, and instead of trying to resolve the problems, they simply refused to publish the review.
