I'd love to buy Lenovo's big RAM (64 GB ECC) laptop.
But Lenovo included unerasable spyware in BIOS that reinstalls itself after a clean reinstall of non-OEM, original Windows DVD, I think I'll pass. Maybe it doesn't affect Lenovo's business range, but I don't want to take any chances.

Lenovo did remove the crapware in question afterwards. It doesn't inspire confidence when they do same spyware/crapware deal multiple times and only remove such software after getting caught.
