It's always interesting how this happens. Is it new executives how come to power and they never realize what the brand meant to users but see a short term stunt to get some extra profit and go for it.
It happened to Lenovo and other laptops when they started installing spyware (Superfish) on their machines. They basically ruined the brand image that took years to build up.
- mulmen 9y agoIn the case of Lenovo the brand was sold by IBM to a third party who immediately drove it into the ground.
- digi_owl 9y agofunny thing is that none if the issues have ever been found on the thinkpad libe, only the ideapad line.
- rdtsc 9y agoTrue and I'd still look at Thinkpads if I had to buy a new machine, but knowing what they did with the E, Y, G and Edge series would make me always look a bit harder at other brands first from now on.
