They really should learn. The (internet) world is such a small place now and bad rep. spreads fast. That was actually one of my considerations recently when I was buying a new laptop, in the end I went for a HP. Who knows, they may be 'at it' too, just haven't been caught yet?

Got me thinking too
I nearly bought a Lenovo but opted for a Dell but it does make you wonder what's hidden

I wouldn't just think its them that does it tbh,
