Lenovos might not be pretty and as glossy as the Dell (yes, I have a SXPS 16 so I know what high end Dells are like) but they are cheap and have good performance.
I went with a friend to pick up a budget laptop for him and I must say, the lenovo was good. He even got a full keyboard (with a numpad) that I am kinda envious about now
High end dells (and everything else I'm guessing) eat up your battery. You can't travel anywhere without your adapter. I'm saying this from personal experience
It's good for a primary machine but if you plan to travel a lot, it's not totally the best thing. So it's really a judgment call tbh.
I used mine for 6 months but then my brother needed a Desktop Replacement so I gave him mine and took his Sony Vaio (crap machine but small and light). Now I'm seriously considering getting a lighter and more portable laptop next time around. I'd get a mac if those bloody things were cheaper
I have a feeling I'll end up with a Lenovo or an Acer since they sell laptops with no OS. With Acer, I can run ubuntu on my machine without having to pay for Windows. Or use that unused Windows 7 license I have lying around my house
