Thinkpads are actually from a completely different factory than the Ideapads.
We have a lot of Thinkpads at work and we just can't even order an Ideapad or other consumer models like Legion if we wanted to. They just won't sell them to us. We've tried to get some because some developers needed GTX cards.
It's like there's 2 Lenovo companies just having the same name. I'd trust the B2B Lenovo not to put spyware on their systems (even though I'd reinstall them just in case). At work they even preinstall our images for us.
But the B2C Lenovo is a totally different beast and this is where the Superfish rootkit appeared. The total build of the machines is also very different. Cheap plastic feel, lacking the amazing keyboards etc. I love the thinkpad look and feel and hate the Ideapad ones (and the Thinkpads that are really ideapads, I think the E series (Or is it the L? I always mix those up)
