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?

EDIT: I have come to the conclusion that both Lenovo and ASUS are extremely terrible, anyone who sees this post should go straight to framework laptop

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.

First time I see anyone recommending that

Which would you recommendend? I could just find the xiaomi book 14, which has a 12the gen i5. Not too impressive, depending on waht you want to do

True, i haven't looked at the recent lineup. They seemed to have dropped some of the pro models. I have the mi notebook pro 2 2023. It had dedicated graphics. If you need graphics power they might be the wrong choice.
