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

Lenovo is cheaper than ASUS. Also I feel their Linux support is better than Asus's. Recently installed an EndeavourOS on my friend's Lenovo, and every single thing is working as expected.

I thought ASUS was cheaper than Lenovo. To me, ASUS is better known as a brand that offers good value and more affordable options. and Lenovo like Legion is usually more expensive

Lenovo is generally cheaper then Asus, but they both have high end brands for gaming, Legion vs ROG

No. Lenovo is really good. Try buying on Black Friday or Christmas, they usually have offers. Also Lenovo has 'Build your own spec' kind thing for all their models. These are even cheaper. Also if you're buying through their website, try staying in their cart page before checkout for about 5 mins, sometimes they will give you a small discount coupon, fearing you're indecisive.

Good to know! thanks!
