      Lenovo shrank by something like 50% in the last four months!

      Holy crap! Do you have a link on that?

        I haven't followed it. Can you give me the tl;dr?

        Lenovo has come to light last year as a known malware vendor installing spyware / networking hijacking code directly into drivers and putting additional software to allow them to push malware via the BIOS.

        Literally the last vendor I would do business with. They are unethical and outright evil. If they weren't protected in China, I suspect that a lot of people would be facing serious criminal investigations.

        Lenovo is one of the companies, after being caught TWICE this year in the worst IT industry malware finds ever (IMHO) leading the downfall of the Chinese markets.

        Well GD it. Guess I'll cancel my order. Such a shame.

            Some other Lenovo links...

            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. 😐

                      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 🙂
