Claude Code is amazing (I assume that is what you mean by Codex) it integrates into your terminal. The biggest advantage over Cursor is the use of Agents to automate your workflow. an Example is you can have a FileNaming Agent that you give a list of instructions to for whenever a new file is created so it is named a certain way, or a Comment Agent with instructions of whenever a comment is created in your code it puts certain information in. Maybe you can do this all in Cursor too but I dont know how. Also you dont need to pay for the API as you can just use your account to log into Claude Code.
I am working on a easy to use self-hosted IT Helpdesk system for small IT teams. Vibe coding it with VSCode and CoPilot. I started this project when I needed my own helpdesk and didnt want to pay a fortune online providers.
For me, I always find its best to find a problem that I want to fix and then research to tools that would best fix it. I find it much easier to stick with something if I am seeing the benefits...I have a horrible time just trying to say I am going to learn (insert topic here) today! Its much easier for me to say I want to make my own Tower Defense Game, or Invoicing Application I should learn Python or C or html to make it work.
I have been using Dell Latitude and Precision for about 15 years and I have have great luck with them. Our guys that work out in the field with the Latitude laptops beat the crap out of them and we have very few issues. Not sure about Lenovo. I think they are called Pro and Pro Plus now.
