I am not against Lenovo in any way, they have been making excellent products over the years, I am just surprised that many don't realize that it's a Chinese Company, despite them being such a big player in the PC market. Lenovo first acquired IBM's PC division in 2005, which majorly consisted of the Thinkpad and ThinkCentre models.

Other facts,

In 2014, Lenovo acquired Motorola Mobility which consisted of their Phone Business. In the same year, Lenovo purchased IBM's Server business.

In 2017, Lenovo obtained a 51% stake in Fujitsu through their PC Joint-Venture.

There are other companies that Lenovo ones, what do you guys think ? Do you think there are others worth noting ?

 

My thinkpad T440p will be coming in soon and I been considering Coreboot/Libreboot but it requirwes a usb bios programmer, there are many of these from many different sellers on Amazon, but all of them are made in China by unknown companies, can these have any malware of them ?

 

I'm shopping around for a battery for my T440p. This looks like a really good deal if it's legit. Looking at some of the other seller's listings, some of the items also have the "Lenovo Authorized seller" what do you guys think ?
