Poll: will you buy Lenovo after the Superfish incident?

2 pointsby petecooper11 anni fa3 comments

I woke this morning and read numerous stories about Lenovo and Superfish from various sources. My gut reaction is that this is a step too far and I would not be buying or recommending Lenovo again, at any grade/level. I have always zapped the factory install, so I would not have been affected, so my circumstances are somewhat mitigated. I am currently unsure as to how to proceed. I've read some excellent arguments today on both sides of the fence, which has got me thinking further but has made the decision less clear cut than it was.

Crunch time: will you buy Lenovo after the Superfish has died down and faded away?

I have no axe to grind, no affiliation to declare, and it's something that's been playing on my mind all day. Thank you in advance.

It's a shame because I bought a Lenovo laptop about half a year ago - I love it!

I wiped the preinstalled version of Windows so I'm free of this issue. I'd love to install Linux on it but wireless doesn't work in any of the distributions I have tried.

I was hoping to make the switch from my MacBook Pro just to keep things fresh later this year, but I guess I'll hold on to it a bit longer.

No, but I wasn't planning to before all this anyway, so it's not that this issue has swayed my decision any.
