I was hoping there would be more commentary on the Lenovo superfish situation as it stands today. This is exactly my concern with purchasing from them.

- walterbell 10y agoWasn't superfish limited to consumer devices, i.e. not Thinkpads?
- AdmiralAsshat 10y agoYes, but there were a number of security-related incidents discovered afterwards that affected even the Thinkpads: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2984889/windows-pcs/lenovo-collects-usage-data-on-thinkpad-thinkcentre-and-thinkstation-pcs.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/2984889/windows-pcs/len...
- quantumhobbit 10y agoDoesn't matter to me. If they did that to 'consumers' I don't trust them even if I am a 'professional'. Ethics are not selectively applied. The arguement that they would never be stupid enough to do that to big corporate customers doesn't help me because I am not a big corporate customer.
- basch 10y agoThinkpad is sort of a separate company within Lenovo. That's why Lenovo says "we have headquarters in Beijing, China and Morrisville, North Carolina, U.S."
