What do you guys think of Lenovo laptops?

I’ve been considering getting a new laptop.
I considered getting a Mac, but they are definitely out of my budget right now.
I know that Lenovo is made by IBM, but I have never used one of their computers.
I’m a student, so I would be doing a lot of research and writing.
I also use my computer for watching TV shows and movies.

Have you ever used a Lenovo? How do they compare to some of the more mainstream computer brands?
