    Assuming you're talking about Lenovo, yes, I have and I've owned two of their laptops.

    First laptop was pretty good for the price, although I found the touchpad to be a minor pain in the bottom to use.

    Second laptop came with a faulty keyboard but Lenovo arranged to get it repaired reasonably quickly so can't complain too much.

    They make reasonably priced computers that aren't particularly flashy but do their job. I have heard a few complaints about their higher end gaming systems (the Y510p, or Y50-70) not being particularly great but again, they're generally quite cheap in comparison to other gaming laptops so it is a bit of a get what you pay for thing.

    I would generally recommend them. I'm still using that second laptop (it's not very old) and now the keyboard is fixed it's a nice system for what I want. Dual-core i7, 8Gb RAM, GeForce 840M and a 1Tb SSHD. The keyboard, even though it has been replaced, isn't quite as nice a typing experience as I had on the previous Lenovo but the touchpad is much better so it's a bit of swings and roundabouts.

    Based on those two samples, neither have been perfect but for the price, both have definitely been more than adequate for my needs and haven't been lower than my expectations for each respective system.

    Neither came with particularly high amounts of bloatware either.

    Lenovo bought out IBM and are one of the better brands on the market.
