ThinkPads are considered the Windows/Linux equivalent of Apple laptops in business settings.
And owned by Lenovo. Who in the past loaded unremovable bloatware reinstallers into their BIOS so that fresh installs always reloaded their shit.
If you want a Linux laptop, System76 is your best bet.
Superfish. Never forget. Literally BIOS-level malware, and people still buy things from Lenovo.
I mean, they only put that on consumer grade devices. lol
So? Why would you trust a company to not put it on ThinkPads as well if they think they could get away with it?
Or Tuxedo for people, who live in Europe.
I love my x1 from lenovo. No bloat at all and excellent customer service. I broke a USB port and they sent a guy to my house to fix it.
