Its probably more that its an ignoramus that thinks anything that isn't a macbook isn't good or workplace worthy, but the school analogy might be accurate as well although not all IdeaPads are Chromebooks, I dont think. I'll always pick up for Lenovo just for their repairability, but I have seen a bit of QC issues in the past couple years.

We did order one laptop that kinda got lost and when I contacted support about the tracking number that didn't work for any tracking service they ended up sending me another. The original arrived like the next day or something. Two for the price of one.

I was wondering when Lenovo co-opting the ThinkPad branding for their Chromebook offerings would come home to roost. It never made sense, and resulted in a lot of Olds buying Chromebooks when they meant to buy laptops (sometimes on corporate accounts, sometimes by the dozen!) and here's the other end of it, but this isn't the Stupid Marketing Moves thread so I digress.

A couple of jobs ago employees ordered their own equipment and got reimbursed. This one accidentally ordered a super low-res screen Lenovo. I had to replace the LCD panel with a 1080p one and it was surprisingly easy. A+ on repairability from me.

We have ThinkPads at work and one had a broken touchpad so Lenovo sent a guy to fix it. He was there for a little over six hours, drank most of the Diet Pepsi in the break room, and in the end never actually fixed the touchpad but he did use the wrong screws to put the case back together so it still didn't work but now had two pointy bits sticking out. I hope he was paid well.

Nightmare Before Christmas is an old movie where the skeleton character lives in Halloween town and discovers a portal to Christmas. He is now discovering a portal to the 9/11 holiday instead.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Personally I still haven’t forgiven Lenovo for the superfish thing, even though I acknowledge that was only their consumer laptops not their enterprise ones.

Actually beetles make up about a quarter of the number of extant species on earth! And they make up about 40% of insect species, and insects are nearly half of animal biomass on earth. So the ladybird beetle's anatomy is actually very common, much more so than human anatomy.

See, I knew this would happen.

I edited my original comment three times so I wouldn't offend the bug people, and yet here we are. I'm through biting my tongue!

Ladybugs are Frankenstein spiders made up of appendages from the grave yard. The only reason we think they bring good luck is they're lucky to even be alive with such an odd assortment of parts from the bargain bin.
