Now the question is what vendor do I use for my next Laptop? I think that Lenovo has demonstrated that they can't be trusted.

Lenovo in their official statement say that "Think-brand PCs are unaffected." and "The software does not come loaded on any Think-branded PCs." http://news.lenovo.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2013 Which presumably means all Thinkpads are OK. Still, they seem intent on destroying their Lenovo brand name reputation however. I don't think they appreciate that dodgyness on their cheap range of laptops can also affect their reputation for the more expensive laptops, even if the production is entirely separate.
