Ideally it should if you format your laptop.

But the problem is working with a vendor that has a track record for compromising its customers.

How do you know they aren't inserting backdoors in the firmware?

The problem is the lack of trust.

To be fair, I'm still spotting an X1, but next time I might consider librem, or something else.

Everyone who's calling out Lenovo should be calling out apple and talking about how they can't use any apple product lines, for the same security concerns.

Nothing is safe!

I'm no Apple fan, but I certainly have a special level of distrust in anything based in China.
