##### True
Is this just entertaining or is this the truth? Mine is the Walmart private label "Motile" laptop which is pretty damn good, but it is not Business class construction if you know what I mean.
Also sadly Walmart is no longer in the laptop business after demonstrating non-suck consumer computer at a reasonable price.

If I remember right, part of the deal for Lenovo to buy the ThinkPad brand from IBM was they had to keep the quality high. I think they've done that, that's one of the few lines where I know I'll probably get 5+ years out of it. I've experienced very few hardware specific problems with them. Your and others mileage may vary, I've had very good luck with Chevys, but others won't consider them.

95% of businesses hand out a Dell or Lenovo. 5% are HP's and the leftovers are Macbooks and corpusers that load Linux onto it.

They were good prior to being owned by the Chinese - now they are crap and full of spyware

I recently got a chance to work on one of these, from a budget range. It's stylish looking, but it was so slow, which was the main complaint. It probably worked fine before, but the Win10 bloat brought it to its knees. Nuking all the bloatware and disabling Windows Defender helped a bit, but the main bottleneck was of course its hard drive. Never buy a laptop with an HDD, they're that slow. An even older one I had to work with was blazing fast just because it had an SSD. Oh, and 4 gigs of RAM - that's so little these days. Switching to an OS less bloated would be one solution, but that was above my pay grade, so I left it at that.
