I know right? Lenovo has some pain in the ass restrictions on hardware settings and proprietary bloat ware.
I mean, my x100 was/is amazing. It’s still running strong… granted with Linux and not windows. All the other lenovo hardware I’ve used has been iffy. All the laptops since that one have been underwhelming in terms of being able to adjust hardware settings. I can’t comment on their workstations or servers… but either HP for servers or Dell for SANs and why bother with anyone else?
For gaming I’ve used ASUS for a bit now and I have very little complaints. My Ally is amazing for what I use it for and my TUF gaming laptop out preforms anything I could have built for the same price.
The only thing lenovo us better in is keyboards. I like their keyboards better. Other than that they’re terrible now.
The newer thinkpads aren’t terrible. But they’re a shadow of what they used to be when IBM owned that line. Lenovo is just coasting off of that reputation.
Really. My 15 inch zenbook is one of the nicest computers I’ve owned in a while. Almost got the dual screen Lenovo, but it made more sense to get the Asus and an external monitor
Well, considering Asus is basically Lenovo but shitty, they are not doing a great job at infringing those patents.
Lol. What? Asus is a far superior brand.

Remember when Asus shipped pre-installed malware called Superfish? Of course you don’t, because that was Lenovo.
Seeing that every Lenovo laptop I owned had major issues, I think it’s the opposite
Were you on the cheap side of the lineup? Thinkpads are fucking tanks, only brand that matches MacBooks.

On a side note I have used the dual-screen Lenovo, you did the right choice.
