   @brandon There is a reason Lenovo is on my “Do Not Buy” list. If Dell made something using OpenPOWER I would be super-duper happy.

     @alpacaherder @brandon I ordered direct (and prepaid) from Lenovo USA in 2008 after they announced a new model with preinstalled Linux. Months later, after repeated inquiries, they admitted the model was cancelled. It took months to receive my refund. All told, #Lenovo had my money almost six months, when they knew early on that they could not fulfill the order.

     @geniusmusing $EMPLOYER forbids Lenovo products, though they had plenty of "Stinkpads" before IBM sold the Thinkpad business to Lenovo.
