Lenovo or ASUS? Trying to figure out which laptop to go with.

Which company has a better reputation (in quality, privacy, pricing...), or are they both bad?

EDIT: Please see https://lemmy.world/post/39088746, I have come the the conclusion that both Lenovo and ASUS are extremely terrible, anyone who sees this post should go straight to framework laptop

Why is Legion garbage? Youtube says a lot nice things about it. I'm eyeing legion 7 pro, is there an alternative at ASUS?

Much like the consumer lines from other brands, it's a lot of cost-cutting. Plastic everything, hinges that break prematurely, limited power filtering, that sort of thing.

One that frequently pops up (although I'm not familiar with that particular model) is poor cooling. Heat kills many gaming laptops, either directly or indirectly. That can mean needing more fans/bigger vents, being unable to clean them, or liquid metal thermal paste that leaks and shorts out.

I have an older Legion, 10th gen i7, 2060, 144hz display, and it's a perfectly solid machine.

Never given me any issues except its Linux support is kind of so-so.

I would say though that there are other devices out there that are much lighter. This laptop is a chonky boy.
