Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo’s new T-series business laptops, which earned our highest honor with a 10/10 repairability score.
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.
But I won’t buy anything lenovo, should I finally let that go?
