I'll take serious issue with this reply.
I have owned desktop and laptops since 1985 and have had multiple computers (from two to seven) at any given time.
Last year I purchased an Intel chip, the first I've owned since I had a 386SX (when was that - around 1988 or 1989?) - I have owned AMD all this time. I upgrade every two or three years and currently have six operating computers: five AMD and one Intel.
In that time I have NEVER had a CPU go out and I overclock all of the desktop units (not my two laptops). AMD makes a good affordable product.
Go with the Lenovo and don't worry about the AMD CPU.
