Lenovo is owned by the Chinese government, for those that don’t know. They’ve also been caught multiple times putting back doors in their hardware. They are likely selling their systems at a loss in the US, to get them at a price point to get them in your homes. I wouldn’t trust any chips in one of those systems, no matter where they supposedly came from.

Windows crashes and your laptop disintegrates....
You now have a $1,000 pile of black vegan leather and compostable bamboo and sugarcane.

I had a Lenovo ThinkPad. My wife bought it for me for a birthday present.

It was the crappiest crap that had ever been crapped. Because it had been bought in Hong Kong and I lived on Guam, it was basically impossible to return. After about three weeks of struggling with it, I actually took a hammer to it, and threw it away. I went back to the old Acer Laptop.

It was just an awful machine.

Anyone wondering if this krap will shut out ANY operating system other than Winblows - Like Linux distros. “Trusted computing”, UEFI, etc. It’s a breeze to install and run M$ Winblows, but next to impossible to install any other operating system, unless you - or the distro - jump through numerous and onerous hoops, which most people other than techies won’t do.

Well, unless you want to install M$ leenux under Winblows, which they control.

I wonder what gun was held to the head of AMD/chip mfgs to add this to their chips. M$ is notorious for the “nice business ya got here, too bad if something happens to it, like us not letting you sell our sterling Winblows products.”
