Im about to purchase a new Laptop and I'd like to know your opinion on different computer brands so I can make a choice.
Lenovo is good, Acer is nice as well, HP fries itself, nobody uses Toshibas, Asus isn't bad, Dell is shit and Macs are for people who have no idea whatsoever about the world.
What do you plan on doing with the laptop?

Lenovos are good but you might want to think about a Chromebook as well, you can put a linux distro on it.
x220/t420 master race

>student here so mostly office products, movies, series and some porn.
Refurbished Thinkpad.
Unlike any new laptop you buy, it will still be working when you graduate.
If you're also going to be using photoshop, get the convertible tablet version.

I guess. But x230/t430 fully supports UEFI, with all the fast boot, hybrid suspend, etc. etc. that modern Windows likes.
Get a thinkpad
What about GIGABYTE?

I can back this up I have one and I love it. I like the tablet conversion just because it's less delicate.

If you want a new consumer laptop that between the plastic shit and Thinkpads, Z51-70 would be really decent (aluminum cover, lightweight, doesn't land in the RMA dept as often as the cheap stuff) if it didn't have a Radeon card (in desktops Radeon > GeForce as they don't gimp their older models, but in laptops heating up is a serious issue).
So maybe Ideapad 700. Cheaper than the gaming Y700, long battery life, will handle new PC games such as Witcher 3.
Whatever you get (used Thinkpad, Z51, Ideapad 700, Yoga 700) make sure to get the following specs:
- i5
- 8 GB of RAM
- 256 GB SSD
