It is nothing more than a spy machine. Lenovo - Formerly the IBM PC Group, made in China. Dell - Made in China HP - Made in China ACER - Made in China MSI - Made in China Apple - Made in China Asus - Made in China Fujitsu - Made in China and Japan Microsoft Surface - USA > China > 2026 moving out of China. Lenovo makes a pretty solid product and they rank third in the US market. They also sell a lot of rebranded products from Dot Hill, LSI / NetApp, Brocade, Quanta, IBM Storwize / Spectrum, SuperMicro and others. Hitachi will never admit it, but they sold a rebranded Lenovo blade system until they came up with their own. Pictures and part numbers don't lie.
