Thinkpad T480 is the most expensive piece of sh*t I could ever bought. The thermal management is terrible, I cannot even use it on the dock station as the temperature raises very quickly and the computer slows down terribly. Now, the laptop complains that I’m not using the original charger and reports a 16 W unit, of course I’m using the original. The battery does not charge while using it so the use is very limited. Of course, all these probems happened after warranty expired. Good job Lenovo, you’re following apple’s steps very nice. This is the last gringo sh*t I’ll ever buy. The next one will be Korean or chinese in brand.
Lenovo Yoga and ThinkPads are the worst laptops in the industry
I’ve been using ThinkPads back when IBM manufactured those.
They were sturdy and reliable. Since Lenovo acquired the brand, the entire line of laptops became unusable. Horrible driver support, bugs with the BIOS,and cheap materials.
Recently I bought a new Yoga laptop. From the very beginning it had driver problems. I’ve talked to Lenovo support, they made me upgrade the BIOS, which except adding an annoying boot splash screen somehow managed to ruin the RJ45 socket and corrupted the Lenovo “first aid” drive (which itself is a buggy feature). I’ve been using the Yoga only in laptop mode, only at my home office and have never even moved it. Yet, the cheap plastic simply cracked over time, the monitor has to be externally supported because otherwise it will fall off. The keyboard backlight stopped working, then the touch feature as well.
Not to speak about how slow and full of bugs the entire OS is, thanks to the “Lenovo updates”.
Also at the last three hightech companies I worked many people have been assigned a Lenovo laptop. Every one of them had a lot of trouble with the laptops and replaced them withing the first two years. Always.
In conclusion: Don’t buy anything Lenovo related. It’s a hoax company with high prices but cheap materials. Their laptops are known to be the worst in the industry and their monitors are in the “cheap Chinese fake” league.
No one report so it not their product problem.
Our T480 one of the key pop out only after a couple of months used and service helpdesk says it not manufacturing problem cause no one reported. So I’m 1st to report and they will not entertain.
