Lenovo sucks. Never again.
I am writing from Bangkok.
I purchased the most expensive notebook I have ever purchased, a Lenovo Yoga 500 i7 with 8Gb of memory and 800MB HDD. It also comes with a touchscreen. This was a replacement for my trusty 15 year old Compaq celeron that gave me no trouble except it was too underpowered for todays OSes.
The first week the computer kept crashing. You know it’s a serious problem with the hardware when you just see a blank screen and the Lenovo boot screen appears. It would do this every 10 mins or so. I went to the Lenovo website and made sure all the Windows 10 drivers were up to date and the BIOS was the latest. Still same problem.
Took it into service. Lenovo outsource their service to the worst service company possible. The technician turned on the computer and said it was fine. I sat there for 10 mins trying to get the piece of crap to crash. After about 30 mins it did crash again and the technician accepted it was a hardware problem.
After about 2 weeks the computer came back to me. Original problem fixed and the receipt said replaced motherboard. I feel good about this.
I get home and the bottom panel of the computer is loose. I try to tighten the screws but they just spin in a circle and the bottom panel is still loose. I figure the muppets used an electric screwdriver to unscrew and screw the panel on stripping away all of the thread. So now I have a brand new computer that is now stuck together with tape.
But at least it works….
Now just over 1 years on and the computer fails to boot half the time. I go to Lenovo website and the latest BIOS update says there is an issue with a capacitor that causes the computer to fail to boot. So naturally I update the BIOS.
Now it fails to boot completely.
I now own a cheap HP notebook. Best decision I ever made to dump that Lenovo piece of crap and buy a proper computer.
