Also, recent ThinkPads do not come with good Linux support unless they are explicitly sold with Linux OS. Lenovo has different firmware for Windows vs Linux now. I recently got a Lenovo P15v Gen 2i that does not work with Linux (I ended up returning after a failed installation).
Lenovo has a >4 month backlog on Linux laptops at the moment. So we will have to make do with something else.
