Here is the one where we found a posting issue with ML that turns out to be the first finding (that we know of) of Superfish: http://mangolassi.it/topic/2761/new-lenovo-laptop-won-t-allow-posting-to-mango-lassi

And an issue that we had with them from SW where they were running a fake giveaway and only shipped a laptop after legal action was mentioned: http://mangolassi.it/topic/2721/lenovo-runs-scam-contest-at-spiceworld

It would be unethical to upvote ^^ that post and down voting it doesn't seem right either.

Last year's graphics card.

With as much as your Mac is crashing,.. a Gateway computer would be better.

You mean at $1099 it doesn't have the newest, most powerful graphics card on the market? That's just upsetting. You'd think at that price it'd have Cannonlake, 128GB of RAM, and 17 PCIe SSDs in a Raid 0. What a scam.

dude, you're the one who asked for feedback. Now you're gonna snark for me pointing out something that you might not have noticed? Good luck getting help next time.

Are there computers that don't outperform MacBook Pros? At one point I had my $150 Acer Chromebook side by side w/ my Force Touch Retina MBP and the Chromebook ran circles around it in terms of browsing speed.

Oh, I thought you were asking for feedback on whether the deal was good or not, my bad. Don't mind me, I'm just cranky today

I'm one of the culprits and I'm upset by it myself.

I'll go be extra mean on 4chan later to make up for it

MattSpeller

@Nic lol awesome

I have to admit I have a Lenovo. However, it was free and it's running Linux (so I don't think the BIOS stuff is an issue?). It's not my main though, just a side one I use for random stuff.

MattSpeller

@johnhooks they used to make lots of decent stuff! I just wouldn't buy one now unfortunately
