Lenovo has some nice hardware, I used it for years, but the problem is that their own software is unusable and the OS options are lagging, at least for me.

Yes you can install Linux, but I'm not going to pay a premium price to then spend my time hunting down the correct drivers and in the end still have some hardware not supported.

Either all of the hardware that I paid for is fully supported by some Linux distribution and on top of that I don't have to lift a finger to keep it updated or I'm not buying at that price.

I pay and you solve my problems, not I pay and you deliver me a bunch of new problems that I'll have to tinker with.

That's really why I switched to Mac's. I'm also not terribly convinced by the new touchpad, but maybe it'll grow on me.
