Lenovo or ASUS? Trying to figure out which laptop to go with.

Which company has a better reputation (in quality, privacy…), or are they both bad?

EDIT: I have come the the conclusion that both Lenovo and ASUS are extremely terrible, anyone who sees this post should go straight to framework laptop

    I think Lenovo has the worst with their spyware and adware built into their BIOS. Video from Louis Rossmann I have very bad experience with Lenovo’s business laptops hardware and software but Asus laptops aren’t very different either. Asus’ quality control seems to be garbage and their customer service even more garbage. Choose your enemy.

    Or go with Framework if possible. ⚙️✨

      AFAIK the ad/spyware wasn’t BIOS level, it was “only” bundled with the preinstalled windows. Also, while it doesn’t exonerate lenovo, the spyware doesn’t exist anymore.
