Remember, however neat these are, Lenovo is a company that has been caught multiple times inserting spyware into their products. There are other enterprise-class solutions out there that are satisfactorily good. We need not keep giving money to a company that time and time again violates our trust.

My thoughts exactly, there is no way I'd buy or recommend any Lenovo product to anyone after how they've treated their customers.

  Asus hardware is vastly superior to Lenovo and I find has a better price point than many Lenovos. Also, what lines are you looking at? My company recently got a new round of Dells and they seem pretty well put together.

    > Asus hardware is vastly superior to Lenovo Is it? From my understanding, Asus has two product lines: Good hardware… and business hardware. Lenovo (and to a slightly lesser degree Dell) manage to make good business hardware. And if it doesn't have at least three years on-site service, it doesn't matter (to me) how good the hardware is. > Also, what lines are you looking at? Lenovo T/X series and Dell's Latitude 7xxx series. Particularly the 7440, where Dell insisted it's not a problem if the touchpad firmware reboots every minute (freezing input for a second – supposedly it's now fixed, after a year and a half, but people still report bugs), and when a month later the mainboard suddenly died, I stopped bothering with them. Going by reddit et. al. it seems to be a common occurrence.

      I have a pair of business laptops from Asus and they've been great for the last ten years or so. Also have an Asus laptop for home use and a friend just purchased one recently and the hardware still seems top notch.

  What about HP? The EliteBook series are quite good. A colleague has the newest 840 G2 and it gives my x250 a run for its money.

    Between HP threatening to split up every year and the horror that is their support, I never got so far as to evaluate their actual hardware offerings.

Came here to say this. Lenovo shits on its customers.
