Lenovo is a Chinese company. I'm typing this from a Thinkpad. Would it also be the norm for Lenovo to collect/share information from my laptop with the Chinese government?
- didibus 9y agoPossibly, I know the company I work at avoids Lenovo laptop because of that.
- fhood 9y agoIsn't lenovo the one that got caught putting spyware in the bios?
- gruez 9y agoNot really spyware in bios, more like acpi data, that when detected by windows, gets auto executed by windows
- deadmetheny 9y agoA company that's been caught multiple times installing spyware on laptops[1]? My bet would be on 'absolutely' [1] http://thehackernews.com/2015/09/lenovo-laptop-virus.html http://thehackernews.com/2015/09/lenovo-laptop-virus.html
- philipov 9y agoI can't recommend buying a Lenovo laptop.
- linkmotif 9y agoYeah why anyone who values their privacy uses Lenovo beats me. If it’s Chinese, it’s spying on you. Otherwise they wouldn’t be operating in China.
- skellera 9y agoThe US government will not use Lenovo. You can interpret that as a possibility.
