Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo’s new T-series business laptops, which earned our highest honor with a 10/10 repairability score.
Yeah, its less the durability, and more the long standing security issues:
Firmware flaws they didn’t always patch
many vulnerabilities that were known
bundled apps that included known vulnerabilities
Installing software on first boot from hardware (discontinued)
Superfish injected ad traffic which allowed mitm attacks
hardware level backdoors
So most of these things get alleviated since I always wipe new computers and put Linux on them anyways. But the repeated poor decision, security, and anti consumer practices concerns me.
