rudrax Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 A friend of me bought a lenovo A6000 plus smartphone. I thought it would be better than my Asus zenfone 5 as the lenovo one has a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad core SoC where the Asus zenfone has a x86 Intel Atom Z2520 dual core SoC. Both phones have 2GB of RAM. But the Lenovo one doesn't feel fast and fluid as Zenfone 5 does. I won't blame Qualcomm because the 410 SoC is way better than Intel Z2520.It's all on you lenovo???

straycat19 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have lenovo (T61), and I like lenovo enterprise product.ThinkPad is clearly different line of product - they wouldn't dare to mess up with its community.Hmm. My T61 says Thinkpad on the front of it, so does my T52 and Yoga (enterprise version). They are still Stinkpads, only they stink worse since Lenovo bought the line from IBM. Had to use them at school because they got them cheap but Lenovo hardware is crap, lost count of the number of docks we had fail. Monitors come with only VGA cables, docks with multiple video ports but only one can be used at time, etc. Really cheap crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quality is degrading overtime since Lenovo takes over, but what choices do we have? I hear they will bring the old school ThinkPad - once again, to put Lenovo's so called "improvement" to shame, so here's hoping http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/retro-thinkpad-time-machine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I had the T42 ThinkPad — was of IBM origin (returned me great service until it got burned down in a domestic fire.) Those were the good old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humble3d Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 As a novice, I must wonder if one had, eg., an Acronis Image of their cleaned system, and, reformatted and installed the image, if this root kit issue would still be applicable ??Many Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable answer... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
