    Lenovo is a bit lacking on ports but other than that is fine.

    It depends how much you are looking at spending but I'd suggest a Dell XPS 13... But your looking at apple money for that!
    £2600?

    Hmm. Just had a look - the XPS 15 9560 is still nearly a grand less than the MBP I was considering.

      Bought TP T450s 18 months ago and can't complain. Have purchased the 9 cell battery and get around 7/8 hours if I'm not hammering the CPU. Reviews for the T460s were poor having sacrificed battery life for the slimline , ultrabook look.

      The T470s is out now but not checked any reviews so far. I like the ThinkPad build as it's a bit rugged, I'm such a clumsy fecker I drop everything.

      Ive got a Lenovo Z50. Its crap. The keyboard is crap, it misses 'x' key and others unless given a hefty shove. The sound is abysmal and the left touchpad button went sticky after a couple of months use so had to switch the functionality to the right button instead.

      Go Asus. I would.

        I bought a refurbished Dell XPS 15 9560 and I must say I'm over the moon with it, the 4K screen is superb and it is definitely what I would class as a premium machine.

              My expericence is with Thinkpads, it's there in my post. It says TP and also Thinkpads. They are what I have used. They are Thinkpads. I cannot speak for the Z series, as I have used THINKPADS.

              HTHBIDI.

              I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                Asus are crap.

                I've had a Lenovos, Asus, HP and Dell laptops and the only laptop that fell apart before I got p*ssed off with it was the Asus.

                Being more serious you need to do your research on what is and isn't a business level laptop - the Lenovo Z50 isn't one.

                    Don't have a cat.

                    And all the other cats that have enslaved me have been neutered...
