Thinkpads weren't affected by SuperFish.
- walterbell 12y agoThe Thinkpad comment was in reference to the GP comment about hardware issues.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoThe GP didn't buy a Thinkpad.
- walterbell 12y agoYes, the GP said: > "I always heard good things about Lenovo, but the late delivery, SuperFish, and hardware issues are enough to make me avoid the company like the plague." "Good things about Lenovo" are usually in reference to the Thinkpad brand. The GP's hardware issues are unrelated to the historical reputation of the Thinkpad brand.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoAnd they're unrelated to the present status of the Thinkpad brand, because we're talking about an Ideapad.
- walterbell 12y agoThe GP made an assessment ("hardware issues are enough to make me avoid the company like the plague") of the entire Lenovo brand, which includes the Thinkpad brand.
- superfished 12y agoFor me, the reputation of the Thinkpad extended to Lenovo itself as a company. Until this thread, I didn't realize I had an Ideapad instead of a Thinkpad. Now, this might make me come off as a poorly informed consumer, and I'll admit to that if you like. However, it was the reputation of the Thinkpad brand that made me make this purchase, and I am now suspect of all of Lenovo's brands.
