I got a laptop a few months ago and I'll second Edward on Lenovo. I can't speak to the Thinkpads, but I went with a Legion and I've been really impressed with the build quality for the cost. Heck, during the early days of the pandemic, we got my son a cheapy Lenovo Chromebook and that thing has held up better than a lot of laptops I've seen

I mean, at the end of the day, stuff is becoming so white box where most of it is made by Foxconn and the aesthetic design and build quality is all that's different, even in laptops.

That said, I haven't been out shopping the last few months - I bought this at the beginning of the year and both the supply chain and changes in crypto use with graphics cards have made some pretty substantial changes to the market.
