Is Lenovo a good brand?

I want a compact, long lasting and fast laptop for college. I'm torn between the HP Pavilion x360 and the Lenovo yoga. I've had an HP before and I love it's longevity. I've never heard of Lenovo so I'm not sure if the salesman at Best Buy was lying to me when he said it's a great brand haha. He did show me a test on the Lenovo's speed and I will say that it was extremely fast.

Lenovos aren't physically strong.

Lenovo was originally an IBM machine

No

SMFH! He showed you a test on a Lenovo and it was fast? Compared to what? It isn't fast because it's a Lenovo, it's fast because of the CPU, RAM etc. A lenovo with an i7 7600U CPU is faster than some other laptop with a low rent Pentium, and vice-versa! I almost think I'd buy another HP before a Lenovo but I'll probably get a Dell.

It is ok. Better choices are dell or origin
