I bought my wife a Moto G. I've been pretty impressed with the device - I was hopeful for the future of Moto/Google. This is disappointing. Lenovo is an intensely boring company, they're not going to do anything fun with the Moto brand.
After that, I no longer hated working with the laptop and found it pretty decent.
That said, yes, Lenovo is the definition of a company making "boring" and über-traditional devices.
(very personal impression obviously)
