I agree on principle, but Lenovo is no less trustworthy than any Smart TV manufacturer, such as Samsung, Sony, or LG.

It has become a common industry practice to subsidize consumer hardware with pre-installed spyware. The only solution here is to replace the pre-installed OS with an open-source alternative.

I would still pick Lenovo ThinkPad running Fedora Workstation over any iMac or Macbook product.

Well, yes but at least I can refrain from setting the Wi-Fi password in my TV and still end up with a perfectly working TV (I do.) A computer without Internet is not very useful nowadaysm

Well, until TV manufacturers will choose to add a GSM module to TVs :)

And that shouldn't be far away:
