    Check out Lenovo's Yoga 300. I held one a few days ago and the build quality is impressive.

    basta made in china.

    like yung mga picture viewers dati, di ba may built in virus that infects the usb then may program siya to upload your files to servers in china. yung sa sd cards same din. pati phones na made in china same din may spy chips.
    this is the main reason why the national broadband deal with ZTE was objected to. it is not merely the price or kickbacks. kung natuloy e all files ng philippine government pwede na nila ma-access.

    Its true. But then again I dont have any state secrets with me so I dont mind using Lenovo products.

    Besides, if the Chinese really target a country or person for hacking kayang kaya na nilang gawin through so many means

    i don't like Asus' current 11.6 inch offerings. The E202SA seems promising though.

    could be true, could be not.
    however, if you use the off the shelf configuration, including the standard drivers, that could be the reason.
    if you had it reformatted clean and have no state secrets in your unit.... why bother?

    it's almost 2016 and i'm still using a lenovo thinkpad X220 10GB w/ SSD. i5. still good enough for my needs. very portable. just a tad bigger than the 11.6-incher that it replaced many years ago

    I'm wary of it as well kaya sa smartphone or pc's, laptop, Taiwan na lang or Korean or kahit made in china eh US company naman.

    And yes, matibay Dell laptops in my experience.

    What really made me paranoid is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a major shareholder in Legend Holdings, parent company of Lenovo.

    fyi, Lenovo has embedded spyware installers in the BIOS, not sure on which models specifically.

    Asus is usually the non-chinese best value. A lenovo is ok though.

    Technically Asus is Chinese(Taipei) ^_^


    i've no qualms about Asus, it's just that imho, they don't have a decent 11.6 in offering right now. Chromebook specs are a bit tight for me

    out mo na chromebook. i have one and i really feel i can only do so much on that unit.... although there are offline apps that you can use there, it is still not enough.

    i only use that for browsing and for light emails.

    you can also look for Dell.
