@scttwd I realize we are off-topic discussing hardware, but I have no way to split out the Lenovo comments from this topic. I’ve been wondering if your warranty repair was returned to you and how the IdeaPad is working now. One of my former students was thinking about buying one.

Hi Linlay,
Lenovo did repair my LT in a timely manner and the repairs needed are done right but there is now an issue with it suddenly shutting off. My LT now turns off or shuts down on its own sporadically. The power switch seems to have an issue. It doesn’t seem to respond and/or also sporadic to touch. I need to contact them but I am so frustrated I would like to get a new different brand.
I guess this answers your question.
Best of luck.
Yikes! That’s not good. I’ve never had a problem with Lenovo (I did have duds from Dell a while ago). As I mentioned before, I have used ThinkPads for years (since 1998). I did have a couple of Lenovo YOGA Pros when they first came out, but they have been passed on after 5 years to needy middle school students who are still using them. What I’m getting at is that it may not be the brand in your case, but the model. The engineering schools at local universities near my home require their students to use specific P-series ThinkPads, but they are not inexpensive. My laptops are X and T series. I travel with an L series. Never had a problem. As with anything else, when it comes to computers, you get what you pay for. I’m sorry to read that you ended up with a double dose of bad luck. Apologies to all for my hijacking this topic.

True, you get what you pay for but even the nice expensive ones have defective or problem ones in their stock. It seems that’s the one I always get. lol.
I’ve had good luck with HP. The one I just started having hard drive issues with was about 10 years old. That’s about life expectancy in my experienc and history. I should have my lenovo looked at again. Just means another month without it.

No worries about hijacking my thread. I brought up Lenovo so it’s fair game. People are communicating, and that’s the name of the game.
