From what I know (admittedly not a ton), many IT people have custom OS images they install on bulk PC purchases. If this is the case, then any malware that ships with Lenovo would be a non-issue, especially because this was the consumer line of Lenovos, not the business line. However I could be wrong, and perhaps there are companies that feel betrayed. Custom images may be a thing only large companies do. As a consumer, I still view Lenovo as the best PC hardware and would buy again but would probably be suspicious of any new purchase (as in, wipe the HD and install a store-bought copy of Windows myself). That said, I use the Thinkpad line which was unaffected by Superfish from what I know.
