That was a stupid thing Lenovo did, but it was limited to consumer devices (and not all of them at that - the Microsoft Signature edition devices didn't have this, for example).
Laptops purchased through enterprise sales were not affected by this.
- Tepix 9y agoAt some point you ought to stop trusting a company. After Lenovo has done this three times in a row, isn't it time to say "thanks, but no thanks"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo#Security https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo#Security
- tallanvor 9y agoI mean, go ahead and not buy from them. For me, If they have the best product available when I'm ready for a new laptop, and I know how to buy it such that I won't be getting any bloatware/spyware/etc., then I'll still buy from them because the quality of their hardware has been consistent for me.
- saimiam 9y agoIt's interesting that different people took up the cause of highlighting Lenovo's faults. Unless it's the same person using alts, it looks like people are quite mad at Lenovo.

- tallanvor 9y agoThere certainly are plenty of people that are still mad at them, and they did make some really bad decisions. And maybe I should be more upset since those actions were more likely to affect people who aren't as likely to understand what was done. But at the end of the day, I can probably find as many things to hate about Dell, HP, and every other manufacturer, and then who would I buy my next laptop from?
