    I had a Flex 14 which had a broken keyboard. Sent it for repairs and it came back with the same issue happening a minute after I turned it on. Had a bunch of friends who got a Lenovo gaming laptop that were offered at a deal with our school (was a Y-something I can’t recall). All of them ended up with strange green bands on their screens within 2 years. The whole superfish fiasco basically cemented that they’re not a company I would buy anything from ever again.

    I’m currently using a Asus Zephyrus G14 and it’s been practically a flawless experience.

      You have to stay with the X, T or P series to get anything with decent quality. They’ve sullied the ThinkPad brand greatly over the years with the cheapshit variations outside of these series.

        E series at the right price is alright too.

        X and T are always nicer, but more expensive.

        Really gotta stay away from IdeaPad, they’re the true rubbish.

          Nah, there’s no point in a cheap laptop unless you want to repair or replace it after the warranty expires. Too many cheap corner cuts, wears out faster.

      The legion series is terrible. Same for HP omen, and Dell alienware. The OEMs just cut too many corners for “gaming” stuff. I’ve repaired them all. Desktop and laptops, across all these brands.

      I’ve had terrible experiences with all brands bar ThinkPad.

      ThinkPad specifically too, IdeaPad, and Legion are consumer garbage.
