That used to be a real big thing at one time.  A software vendor would pay a manufacturer some cash to preload their crap.  Lenovo started pre-loading stuff that turned out to be malware and the little bit of money they received was insignificant to the bad press they got.  A few go arounds like that and the vendors started cutting back on the crap.
Of the three laptops I've had the Lenovo was the absolute worst. It lasted 18 months.   Had an Asus that lasted 11 years. Only died because I threw it out a window. Landed in an open hot-tub.  The Acer's are pretty good but they do come with some easily removable bloat. Amazon FIRE tablets might be the worst offenders of all time.

Yeah Lenovo's stuff is hit and miss.  The Thinkpad laptops are usually very solid.  My employer provides them at work and they are quite good.  Personally I've had some of their other devices - most were ok and one was awful.  I worked for them for one year once a long time ago.  Didn't care for it too much and got out when I could.  Their Chinese CEO came to visit us once when I was there.  Any American CEO that I've worked for usually had a personal caddy type and a few nerds around them along with a couple of ex-special forces types out on the periphery.  The Lenovo dudes posse were all female.  All super model hot.  No political correctness there.   8)

Still one of their most controversial skits. Too on point?

Pink getting it done

I love that! I bet you she lets him eat at the dinner table, he loves what he's doing and he's doing it for her.
Eh, nevermind...

That final leap into her arms was the best part!

Any time an athletic record is broken by 2 seconds you know it was amazing.
