- SSLy 10y agoAnd what do you buy?
- jpalomaki 10y agoI've moved years ago from Dell to Lenovo. And specifically to professional models which come with onsite warranty. The onsite warranty is of course very good thing on its own, but I also believe it puts pressure on the vendor to focus on quality and getting issues sorted out quickly (because doing onsite visits is not cheap). It also indicates the computer is built in a way I can also replace parts, because you can't field service a machine that has been glued together.
- chris_wot 10y agoThe X1 Carbons have quite a few models with the RAM chips soldered to the motherboard.
- johnchristopher 10y agoAnd what about the backslash from Lenovo SSL hijack from some months ago ? It really looks like there are no pro or business solution, just a more expensive variant of `pick your poison`.
- chei0iaV 10y agoWhat about Dell's SSL cert debacle? It's not much better. https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/870761 https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/870761 Only way to escape the issues is to remove the bloated OEM OS that vendors provide and do a clean OS install (e.g. Linux)
- johnchristopher 10y agoPfff. I missed that one.
