Some of the newer models also don't even have an Ethernet port.  You 
have to use a USB C adapter.  Also, not many have a floppy drive these

However, i preference would be for business class, no matter who makes 
it.  Even with Lenovo, there's a big difference between the ThinkPad and 
Lenovo models.
