A laptop with 128 GB of ECC memory.
I really want one.
But unfortunately it's a Lenovo... I still remember the malware they shipped in the system BIOS. Any good reason to trust them now?
- mikece 8y agoHow long ago was the BIOS malware issue? My P50 will be two years old in August... I'm asking for myself.

- sitkack 8y agoYeah, existing Xeon powered Thinkpads already go to 64 GB of ECC, so this is really just a core bump for those not willing to forego ECC (no one really should).
- wilsonnb2 8y agoAs far as I'm aware, only their non-Thinkpad laptops have shipped with malware in the BIOS. I personally wouldn't worry about buying a Thinkpad from Lenovo, but I would not buy any other laptop from them.
