Nevertheless, the conclusion that you'll "never trust Lenovo again" is a classic bit of idiocy from people talking about laptops. To infer that current laptops are going to have problems because you god a bad batch of laptops several years ago, instead of looking at overall figures, just results in incessant brand-hopping, going from Dell to HP to Lenovo to Apple to Panasonic, swearing off more and more manufacturers and narrowing the set of options more and more without any reference to the possibility that individual products were poorly designed, or a supplier which they don't use any more used bad components sent by another supplier they don't use any more either. In particular, if you all got the same problem, from a set of laptops at one company, it's likely they came from the same batch, and had some temporary problem from one supplier. To simply discount their laptops in general is to ignore the fact that all laptops have failure rates. Granted, there's a reason the list stopped at Panasonic.
