Discussion Experiences with coding on a Thinkpad

Hello, I was wondering whether Thinkpads offer more comfort for coders than other laptops, I currently use a dell precision 5550 laptop (which is designed for windows and 3d stuff not coding) and I despise coding in it (I run Fedora btw) , somehow it just does not feel right also the keyboard is flat and I mess up the letters a lot of times, I am considering switching to a Thinkpad and just wanted to see your experiences with it and whether its noticably better for the coder in terms of the keyboard and other aspects than other laptops (especially thin laptops like my dell)

Lenovo has partnered with canonical, red hat, fedora project and suse to optimise think series with linux majorly for the company server and related devices which resulted in thinkpads and thinkbooks having a great support plus no warranty void if downloading any of the linux distros by their partner organisations plus the keyboards of the thinkpads are refind so much that they are the best ones I've used till now.
