Lenovo or ASUS? Trying to figure out which laptop to go with.

Which company has a better reputation (in quality, privacy, pricing…), or are they both bad?

EDIT: Please see https://lemmy.world/post/39088746, I have come the the conclusion that both Lenovo and ASUS are extremely terrible, anyone who sees this post should go straight to framework laptop

    You might want to consider gaming on Linux. For that, neither might be a good idea, unless you want to play older games on an older ThinkPad (which a lot of Linux users like to use… a lot). If you want recommendations for Linux-specialized companies, I’d take a look at System76.

      I’ve already started saving money for a Framework laptop, so I plan to buy one within a year. I’ve heard a bit about System76—how does it compare to Framework? Is the quality better?

        I think with Framework, you have the AMD ST and/or Intel ME, which you can’t disable. Since System76 has Intel CPUs almost exclusively, they’re Corebooted and have ME disabled.
