OS garbage.

I’m here to revive this movement. Recommended Lenovo for a sibling and partner in the past year because my dad has been using Lenovo for quite a while for work and personal.

Driver management is horrendous. Always issues with the computer not being able to detect external audio device and even its own camera, even after repeatedly uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Nowadays these matter more than ever for remote working, and honestly should just be expected of literally any computer. Partner’s X1 Carbon is *slower* than her old Macbook Air running Rhino, a modeling application. Just absurd. All of these quality-of-life issues as well as genuine processing power are just unreasonable for the price and honestly for the hardware within these things. Don’t get drawn in by that nectar.

Lenovo ShitPad

At my previous job I had to use a crappy ThinkPad and it was brand new at the time, mind you. Piece of shit was slow, overheated frequently (once it shut down suddenly when I was just about to save the file I’d been working on) and to top it off the keyboard quality was crap.

I thought OK — maybe it was a lemon. Recently my brother gave me his 1st gen X1 Carbon as a hand-me-down and I took it. If only I’d known…

I can’t even reset the FPOS to factory settings, and Lenovo gladly offers recovery media for Windows 7 laptops but not my W7 upgraded to W8.1 laptop. WTF is up with that?
