    Throwing out my Lenovo and am in the market for a new PC. What is a good alternative to Lenovo that is not Chinese-made and wont break the bank?

      personally I only stick with Taiwanese brands (MSI/ASUS/Gigabyte) as from experience they’ve been very reliable.

      Are you talking about a desktop or laptop? For laptops, MSI’s cheap laptops have horrible hinge issues, and ASUS’ TUF/strix lineups are their cheapest options priced cheaply. For desktop parts, I’ve never ran into issues with MSI gpu’s, gigabyte mobos. I don’t remember which PSU I got but don’t cheap out on them is my recommendation. As for storage, I only buy Western Digital.

        gigabye bainboards have terrible bios and just recently pplfound an exploit to gain access to any pc with one of their boards because of their badly implemented bios update over internet function.

        and western digital sure isnt bad but samsung is still smacking them hard in the solid state market at pretty much the same price so ye.

        also the whole thread here is weird because the only lenovo laptops made in china are the cheap consumer ones. the business T line and up are still designed and made by the same team as they have been for decades.
