There is a big difference between the consumer class laptops and the enterprise class machines. In the case of Lenovo the Thinkpad is an enterprise class machine, made for businesses. The Ideapad is a consumer class machine and is made for a price point. In the case of HP Probook and Elitebook are enterprise class machines. Most still ship with Win7 or Win7 Pro as that is what businesses demand.

My workplace supplies one with a Lenovo laptop unless one scrapes together funds to buy something else.

The damned things are as disposable as Kleenex. I've had my MacBook Pro for over 5 years (knock on wood), and a colleague has been through 3 Lenovo laptops in the same time, with less intense use.

A year ago, I bought my wife a Lenovo laptop. Apparently these machines aren't the best there is, but this was for very light home use, my wife does nothing with a home computer beyond a bit of web surfing. She doesn't even have a home email address. Anyway, she told me a month ago that the keyboard was faulty, and several keys didn't work. Apparently, the Lenovo warranty is one year, and the machine was off warranty by manufacture date. Eventually, I was able to get Lenovo to extend the warranty to the retail sales date, so I took it in to the shop where a bad keyboard was diagnosed.

The repair depot has now decided that they have no knowledge of the computer coming in to be looked at, and now the warranty has expired.

Note to self, do not EVER buy another Lenovo computer.

Friends don't let friends buy Lenovo.
