Nowadays no one is good in terms of quality as they used to be, and this includes any reputable brand from any type of thing you buy.
Regarding Lenovo I advise you to stick with the genuine Thinkpad series. Thinkpad L series are not a true Thinkpad, they are just leveraging the famous reputation of the name to sell low end machines.
Any brand you want to buy from must be exhaustively researched in the Internet for common issues to see if one arises that is very inconvenient, but the problem is that with some status brands users downplay the issues or do not even talk too much about them in the Internet.
