1. Do you speak Chinese? Your pronunciation is on point 🔥

2. Lenovo just makes good products. I still have my T420, P50 and P70 running on a daily basis. Easy to modify, easy to fix if anything goes wrong.

3. Thank you for this very informative review.

4. I guess im in the minority. I swore off Lenovo after owning a string of laptops that worked well initially, but had limited support and proprietary drivers that couldn't be upgraded after the first year. Tgen I bought a Legion PC and it was by far the lowest quality pre-built i have ever purchases. It failed within the first week and had to be RMA'd.

5. One of biggest mistakes IBM made and they made quite a few of them.

6. reason is simple Lenovo got IPO while Huawei and TikTok doesn't, means you can't buy their stocks means you can't get anything from them😅

7. The main reason didn't mention is Lenovo isn't a real technological company.

8. because the west still has shares there, it's basically a western company based in china.

9. LENOVO chips bought to Intel or Amd have specifics Tags on.
   To verify this truth, just get out one and let try to put it in any PC.
   BIOS UEFI will look to this tag and your PC will not start ….

10. In my experience their consumer products break too easily. First the laptop and now even my charger has stopped working.😮

11. Why did he remove the video he filmed from Syria ? , what happened 😬

12. lenovo has one of the best gaming laptops for price in most countries, its has best build is top tier and decent or above average build in mid teir. it has such great performance and great thermal solution for gaming laptops. the legion pro series are considered one of the best laptops, only rivaled by maybe razer being more premium( but much more expensive), its customer service is also very good, with my laptop i got premium care so they send their employ to my home to fix my laptop and has better practice than even big names like asus acer dell in india.

13. Lenovo is at best a company that integrates tech and components from other suppliers to create their products, so it poses very little threat to the West.

14. Internationalization is essential.

15. Western companies (Tesla, Microsoft, Google, etc.) began investing billions of dollars in China, the most brutal Marxist dictatorship ever, soon after the Chinese Communist Party crushed more than 10,000 civilians with tanks during the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989.

16. Tbh Lenovo in the past never felt Chinese to me, it felt like cheap European stuff. Nowadays though I associate Lenovo with wellbuilt, solid products.

17. Could the reason being Lenovo doesn't own any critical technology and never strived to?

18. I have a Lenovo PC, It is a total piece of shit. Ill never buy another one, so i guess you can say I'm sanctioning it.

19. IBM sold all it's PC technology and manufacturing base to Lenovo. IBM is not a Chinese company.

20. Chinese don't consider Lenovo a Chinese company, just like almost all black people call Halle Berry "white girl"

21. a lot of faff that doesn't answer the question.

    lenovo is basically an assembly company and not a threat to Western technology as it doesn't create any high tech, do any r&d etc.

22. To my understanding Motorola, Lenovo, Volvo, Epic, Huawei, ZTE, TP-link, TikTok, WeChat, Tencent, Baidu all now affected by China. Some from beginning, some bought, some have chinese funding.

23. Lenovo does not sound Chinese, but Eastern European or Italian

24. Not trying to take away your content and point, but I'd like to add and share some pov as an ethnic Chinese person. Lenovo's path to globalization is the one and only where 99% of the other Chinaman company failed to do, and that name is a deep need to be in the ownership. Chinaman companies in general dislikes giving up control or ownership. Every acquisition ends up being an assimilation or complete takeover, rather than an expansion. Lenovo/IBM/Moto worked, because not one single entity tried to erase each other's identity and existence, but rather complement and build up together. The former is the main reason it is so hard to work with or trust any Chinaman company in partnership or acquisition because the likelihood of them swallowing up the other is so real. There is unlikely another Lenovo-like organisation structure because all the recent big acquisitions from large Chinese corporations end up indirectly wiping out their competition (by erasing the existence and branding of the ones they acquired). They may argue that they kept the name, but like what has been said, the brand name is just a shell if the core structure or management structure has been erased or taken up by the Chinama company that acquired them. Company structure reflects transparency, transparency reflects competency, and competency reflects trustworthiness. I can't trust a company that doesn't even know who is making the decisions on the higher up. That is my experience having worked in a Chinaman company & a large public listed organisation.

25. Lenovo is just wearing China's coat. Take off your clothes. He is an American, and China assembled him.

26. Lenovo can put spy chips into their products, no?

27. Lenovo is not yet a market leader,although it is a Chinese company doing not very well in the western world.Who know in the future what will happen when it become very profitable and famous,it will be still be subjected to secutinised by the US government .For sure in times to come it could also end up like Huawei !

28. pay enough money under certain tables and you can rule most countries.

29. lenovo是美国企业 作为一个中国人不认为lenovo是中国企业

30. I know nothing about computers. Why am I scrolling comments?

31. Given the new environment, they will be forced to build a button that automatically connects to the internet that sends all the PII to you know where 😅

32. Medion is a subsidiary of Lenovo in Germany. Medion has many sub brands.

33. 联想自己都说了，它不是中国公司，他是一家全球公司，在中国卖的比在美国的还贵

34. It’s good to know that there’s a US presence for it because the enterprise I work in is solely relying on special Lenovo laptops to manage sensitive production resources, even though my company have their own computer brand. The Lenovo laptop even self destructs if you open it up. Always wondered why the brand is trusted

35. Lenovo is known as a comprador of foreign colonial masters. It is nothing but simply a assembler…

36. Why should i trust US company when US is known to spy all around the world?

37. that's all nice.. But the real reason it is accepted by the US is the 5% owned by BlackRock.

38. bigger question is that why western countries invested in billion in dicatorship regiim china in 90s and 80s
    as if it was democracy in 90s and 80s

39. Yes because China bad, must sanction cos Chinese ew

40. Worked for Lenovo India Bangalore office. That too for Thinkpad products 😅 it's a tuff product.

41. Is it bad no! The Chinese have top notch products and I'm not going to stop using them because they're Chinese!
