Lenovo or ASUS? Trying to figure out which laptop to go with.
Which company has a better reputation (in quality, privacy…), or are they both bad?

Get a nice Xiaomi laptop, install your favorite Linux distro on them. You will have an amazing build quality, oled screen and hardware for an unbeatable price. The closet thing would be a MacBook pro at 4x the price.
