So my Lenovo IdeaPad of 3 years use gave up on me two days ago and I thought I’d warn anyone who visits this blog. Lenovo sucks. Lenovo sucked in 2019 and it still sucks in 2021.
The laptop is heavy, bulky, not something you’d take along for travel. Its battery lasted 3h tops when new and after 3 years had less than 1h when fully charged. Despite having 8GB RAM and a quad AND processor it would stutter and freeze if more than 1 app was open. Never had a laptop with such a long bootup delay, 2-3+ min.
The display colors were all off. I’m a digital artist. Do the math and you’ll see why I’m angry.
The cooler engine gave up 1 year in. It made horrible noises like a hornets’ nest. The panel gets hot even with the fan running.
The touchpad driver crashed around year 2, forced me to buy a mouse.
The laptop is physically still functional but the video drivers died after a recent update so the monitor won’t light up. I’m gonna try to pawn this devil’s aggregate for parts, not sure if it’s worth anything.
Bottom line: Lenovo is overpriced, overrated, underpowered junk. Buy an Acer, Asus, or just build your own PC from scratch.
