Ever since the scandal where they changed the root certificate to enable inserting ads into Https - and worse still, IIRC made them the same (?) meaning anyone who figured it out could intercept any other affected-laptop-user’s Https - I’ve felt some caution about Lenovo laptops.
That was over 8 years ago. Along with Sony’s (Music division only) CD rootkit scandal was over 18 years ago now that people often like to bring up.
TIL Lenovo is Fujitsu
Literally more interesting information in article than laptop itself
My favourite bit was where it said its predecessor is infact lighter.
Everything is Lenovo these days.
Guess they aren’t selling it outside of Asia cause of some consumer laws we have.
I used to work at Lenovo’s fulfillment center through a temp company. The organization of the place (or lack thereof) is a complete clusterfuck. At the time I worked there, something like 5 to 10% of their inventory was “lost”, as in, it was somewhere in the building, but no one could find it since it’s location is no longer in the system.
world’s lightest laptop
Mine’s 750g
Lenovo laptops suck anyway
Anything to qualify that statement or just taking a shot? Who offers better value machines than Lenovo?
I’ve worked in IT for over 20 years Lenovo have never released a decent laptop in my experience and opinion.
So who released a decent laptop in your opinion?
Well damn, thanks for highlighting this. Didn’t even know they’re still making stuff, and Fujitsu has the cheaper FMV MH for under US$1k running Ryzen CPUs too!
Didn’t even know they’re still making stuff,
Lenovo?
Iirc they are the biggest laptop manufacturer in the world.
