Hello
Thanks to this helpful forum, aiming to purchase an Asus (Zenbook Pro) for development purposes (Java/Spring - VirtualBox for Linux), an alternative was also suggested for Lenovo.
On the topic of Lenovo laptops, there are numerous models available.
For the development needs mentioned above, it appears the top two options are ThinkPad and ThinkBook – please let me know if you have any doubts.
The reason behind this message is to determine which branch is better and why, as they seem quite similar. It’s unclear which branch to start researching specific models and prices from.
Your feedback is appreciated.

The Thinkpad generally offers a higher-end experience, with prices starting higher and most models being pricier. They feature superior keyboards, better trackpads, increased durability, and more business-oriented functionalities. You can find spill-resistant keyboards among other upgrades.

For software development, either option works well depending on your budget. The ThinkBook 13s from the Thinkbook line stands out as a solid laptop with a metal build, great display, and long battery life. While some may see it as more stylish, this is subjective.

From the Thinkpad range, the T series would be a good choice.

You may want to reach out to Lenovo and speak with a sales representative.
They are known for their expertise regarding their products.
Beyond that, Lenovo sales are regular, and the representatives will be familiar with the top options.
Another option is laptop review websites.
For instance, Ultrabook and notebook reviews are available there.
These platforms share insights about keyboard comfort and display quality that specifications alone cannot convey.

Thanks to both your responses.
It appears Thinkpad is the right direction.
The Ultrabook review page is located at "https://www.ultrabookreview.com", but the notebook review link you provided, "https://www.notebookcheck.net", doesn't seem to match the intended site.
Appreciate your help!
