I need a new notebook for work. Running ubuntu.
At least 32GB RAM and LTE. Are there any out there that are not designed for gamers, eg. thin and solid like the ThinkPad's?
The thinkpads are good. Dell has a good lineup of laptops that support ubuntu right from the factory. XPS line would be my bet and if you want more business leaning laptops the Latitude series.
I would _not_ recommend Thinkpad CX1(gen6).
It works but has a number of problems despite being Ubuntu Certified. Like trackpad and trackpoint not working / funny, fingerprint scanner, overheating, or closing the laptop lid.
An older Thinkpad may be a better choice.
As asked for thinkpad;s alternative: HP ZBook

Purism laptops might also fit the described need
