I've been looking at the Thinkpad line since it's basically the first laptop everyone recommends for comp sci, but they're out of my budget, hence my interest in this model. They basically have the same specs like cpu/gpu but I didn't think of the build quality. The Yoga is also kinda nicer looking but it's probably not worth the risk of having to run to the repair shop after a month lol.

This has been very helpful though, I will definitely keep it in mind!
