Costco sells these now. And from what I hear they are a better deal then from Lenovo.
Sears also has a lot of Lenovo stuff online, but I don’t know about in store. This is important to know because Sears is putting huge deals on stuff as they are closing stores.
It absolutely does, the negative stories are just as breathless as the positive ones. Remember antennagate, “you’re holding it wrong”? What about the more recent battery scandal, where all the news sites had stories about Apple deliberately slowing down old phones? Saying that the media overall has a pro-Apple bias is pretty silly. The truth is that Apple is a huge player in the industry and it has tons of fanboys, so they get a lot of coverage.
