Also a serial Lenovo owner user
I have three thinkpads one pre-lenovo (IBM) and 2 Lenovo. All three still in service.
But recently, i was handed what was supposed to be a Lenovo S390 VibeX phone. After much faffing about trying to upgrade it, remove malware etc, I discovered it was in fact a counterfeit S960t Lenovo.
Extremely sucky experience. Something is rotten in the state of Shenzen.
