G+_Travis Hershberger Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I hate being a party pooper, but Lenovo has a long, long way to go before they are a trustworthy company. Wouldn't touch any of their products, as to why, let me copy what I've been posting everywhere they get mentioned. Leo, you have got to stop talking of Lenovo like they're trustworthy. They've been saying things worse than lying to you, just half truths, so much worse than lying to your face. 1. The week before they acknowledged the superphish malware, they reclassified multiple lines of business products, and called them consumer products instead. 2. They did a song and dance claiming that superphish was only on "consumer" products, even tho they only reclassified a number of product lines after the public was made aware that something was going on. 3. Superphish is no longer included within the BIOS, nope. It's only included with drivers. This has been verified with wireless drivers on the Yoga. 4. The "fix" for having a single password for their help desk remotely accessing computers was..... to change the password. Yes, really, they still use a single password, they just changed it. So please fact check these... people, before passing on what they are saying. They are known to tell half-truths and leave their customers wide open. I guess I should thank every organization and government entity that still buys Lenovo. It's nice to know I have an instant botnet available whenever it suits my fancy.

G+_Keith Mallett Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well said Travis Hershberger I gave up on Lenovo years ago and don't recommend them. Of course I am taking GHA classes (Grudge Holder's Anonymous)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Keith Mallett If they hadn't established a pattern of bad behavior over a number of years I wouldn't hold a grudge against them. I still don't believe how little verification anyone has done over superphish. The entire industry seems to just take their word at face value without questioning.

G+_Keith Mallett Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Travis Hershberger I know I know.... I think you just summed up free enterprise business... Remember, turning the other cheek doesn't mean allowing it to be slapped as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I don't have a problem with the Think line from Lenovo but I always do clean OS installs when I get one. So I am not typical. I do that for any brand of computer though as I don't trust any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
