New Lenovo Laptop Treatment Plan

0. There is also a superfish issue with lenovo. We will try to remove it...
May need to do this before you install firefox or chrome (because ff maintains it's own certificates: not sure if the ms patch removes that):

2. Battery issue: DO I need to drain the battery? NO!

3. Essentials besides the skype :P

Notepad++
Readcube
Dropbox
Chrome/Firefox

Ccleaner

etc

Make a note of the trial softwares that came with laptop: you will need to uninstall them. I have have a look into the list (and advise which one to keep) if you want.

Also, think if you want to control your computer from home. There are softwares or chrome extensions for that.
