BeepLenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops
NewNewAugustEastBut I won’t buy anything lenovo.
I have an X1 Carbon Gen 9 (so a few years old now). I wanted to replace my HDD and they (Lenovo) had videons on how to do it.
I’d say yes. But stick to ThinkPad series. I have an IdeaPad for work and I really which I told my boss to buy a ThinkPad instead. Keyboard has broken twice in 2 years.
Yeah, its less the durability, and more the long standing security issues:
- Firmware flaws they didn’t always patch
- many vulnerabilities that were known
- bundled apps that included known vulnerabilities
- Installing software on first boot from hardware (discontinued)
- Superfish injected ad traffic which allowed mitm attacks
- hardware level backdoors
So most of these things get alleviated since I always wipe new computers and put Linux on them anyways. But the repeated poor decision, security, and anti consumer practices concerns me.
