Deal alert: Lenovo laptop $199
This is a today-only special from Tiger Direct:
IF you buy this, be warned: Lenovo laptops are well-known to be infected with viruses and malware FROM THE FACTORY. The antivirus software shipped on those systems DOES NOT FIND those infections.
ReplyDeleteThe very first thing you should do on any new laptop - especially Lenovo laptops - is to install a malware detection product (Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, etc) and scan the system before doing anything else.
Burt beat me to it. I may be suspicious of other companies, but we know Lenovo does it.
ReplyDeleteMy current laptop (a few years old) is a Lenovo. First thing I did after bringing it home and making sure it booted was to wipe the drive and install Linux, so no idea what lurking nasties the factory Windows install might have harbored.
ReplyDeleteThe CPU in mine has hardware virtualization support, so I can run a Windows VM should the need arise.
Not sure how they rate for physical durability; mine's held up just fine through the years of occasional use, but I've seen others of that vintage wear out hinges, power connectors, and such.
Still, at that price I expect you'll get your money's worth and then some before it breaks.
I have two Lenovo laptops. They're both pieces of crap. This Dell has no issues.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, Lenovo used to be the IBM Thinkpad line of laptops. After IBM sold it, it turned into a bad news situation, as had been forecast by many in the computer world. Shame.
