no and the bloat ware can be removed by reinstalling windows freshly but however make sure you copy the lenovo drive before doing so or u'll need to order the 120$ driver install disc for the wifi adaptor
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably. If I recall correctly, Superfish is a part of Lenovo's bloatware package. I immediately reinstalled Windows 8.1, which only took about an hour. Windows didn't even ask for the product key during re-installation.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine did come with Superfish, but it was an easy fix by just quickly copying over the partition with all the Lenovo drivers to my Dropbox before performing a clean Win 8.1 install. If you don't do this, there is tons of other bloatware to deal with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it does come with superfish, but it is easy to remove. Use control panel and you can find it and easy to uninstall. As for the bloatware, you can use pc decrapifier to remove all unwanted pre-installed software easily.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, has superfish. Easy to get rid of. Unfortunately, TONS of bloatware. Annoying to uninstall cleanly.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The best way to deal with Superfish is to slick the drive and install Linux. ;-) I'm debating on whether or not to give Lenovo any money just for the audacity of installing that cr@p in the first place.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine did NOT.
