Can you elaborate on your resistance to HP and Lenovo? The last few Lenovos that I have had the opportunity to work with have been slick units.

I have boycotted all HP products since they adopted their policy, many years ago, of deliberately breaking perfectly good printers (as well as not-empty ink cartridges) after some period of time in order to force people to buy new ones. I had already read about this policy in several places on the single day when six HP inkjet printers of the same exact model, which I had bought all on the same day at the same place, all suddenly had mechanical failures.

I've never bought a Lenovo machine, but their little rootkit episode a few years back convinced me that they are not to be trusted.
