Miffed

First experience, didn’t research before buying a new lightweight netbook on sale, but was aware Lenovo bought IBM, and IBM used to bd ok. Oh how the mighy have fallen. Unusable out of the box for days until I uninstalled every bit of bloatware I could find, and did all updates. Then with pretty much nothing installed it still uses 2 GB ram (of 4) on nothing significant and struggles to do anything, and painfully slowly at that. To their credit, I was able to send some emails, even got to watch some Netflix and play an old game briefly (on super low settings for old PCs). My old 2nd hand PC (hand-me-down from bro) from 20 years ago ran better than this, with its Pentium 3 and <2 GB ram – at least I could play Starcraft on it. I regret buying this 90% of the time I can bring myself to use it, which is infrequently – I have been pushed by to use my iPad and desktop more. I was delighted at the hits when I googled "Lenovo + s**t" (I have never wanted to include s**t in a search before). I hope we can all laugh about this one day, but probably only when they go bust – hopefully because of something we wrote.
