I spent over a thousand dollars on this laptop by the time that you include taxes and I don’t expect much out of it. The camera quality is poor to say the least, it uses your fingerprint to unlock but it never works on the first try, I always have to do it at least three times if not more, it sometimes would overheat but at the end of the day it was a decent computer that worked and did what I needed it to. However, Friday night it popped up and said that it needed to do some update I didn’t really read it because it comes up all the time that it needs to update so I just clicked it and told it to restart to update now and ever since then it has not worked and now I’m in the middle of the semester for college and my laptop is 100% unusable. I turn it on, unlock it, and it seems fine and then it will freeze, make a loud vibrating sounding noise (I can no longer take it to class because of this), sometimes the screen turns black then blue and sometimes it just turns blue and says “your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you” and so then it restarts but it doesn’t fix it the same thing happens over and over and over until I just finally get tired of dealing with it and just turn it off. This is so frustrating because I don’t have a car and I have exhausted every option I have besides taking it in to get repaired. I have videos of the vibrating noise and what it does when the screen pops up.

Sporadically won’t turn on. It works then it gives CMOS errors. Once you clear the errors it won’t turn on. Several hard starts and reboots it will finally turn on. Again, it works for a bit then it says “update and shut down” and the whole process starts over. This has happened since day 1 of purchase. Thought it was just taking updates and would work out but it’s consistently a bad experience. I will never purchase another Lenova.

Had this for a few days. So far it's been good. I love the touch screen and ability to turn it into a tablet. The stylus makes it even easier to browse and read in tablet mode. The keyboard is excellent. Performance has been snappy, no hiccups there. Build quality is a big plus, too. Feels solid like you'd want out of a $1k piece of tech. Awesome selection of ports, huge upgrade over a lot of new laptops that expect you to carry around a bag full of docks and dongles. Some things are just okay. Screen isn't going to blow you away. Would've loved a little more wow factor there considering the price, but you're buying this laptop for productivity not media consumption. Speakers work fine for watching informational videos and voice. Not going to give you the best movie or music audio experience. A few things I don't love. The battery life isn't very impressive. I think using the touch screen feature as I do drains it more quickly... But I do notice it drop down from full charge to around 60% on 2-3 hours of usage which is about what others have experienced, so no big surprise but I wish it were a bit better. Sometimes batteries have a break-in period so it may get a little bit better over time I suppose. If I have chrome tabs open when I close the top and put it to sleep, they are blank tabs when I wake up the computer and take about 15 seconds to load back up. Not sure if that's on the laptop itself or something that needs to be worked out with Windows 11. And the response time using the touch screen is a little laggy. By that I mean, if you are using the touch screen then don't touch the screen for a brief time, when you go back to touching to scroll down a page for instance, it takes a second to realize you're using the touch screen again and won't register the touch right away. If you're using the touch screen all the time it works right away so I'm assuming this might be some kind of battery saving feature. I'll have to try it in performance mode to see if that solves the issue (I normally use it in better battery mode). Using the stylus works perfectly right away every time so that's one way to mitigate the issue if it bothers you. But I wish that it would recognize when it's folded in a tablet-like setup and be ready to register a touch input at all times. Overall I would recommend it for portable productivity, just know what you're getting into and there are a few compromises. Time will tell how well it holds up over the long run but I feel like it's going to age well.
