I decided to go with this Dell instead of the Yoga. Better specs and aesthetics. Thanks
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What the BB Associates have told me, as of March 2018, is that this year's models of Lenovo Laptops are to be avoided, and to go with an HP, Dell, or Asus/Acer. The reason is they are getting lots of returns for repairs at the Geek Squad, on this years' Lenovo's breaking down. Usually, the Lenovos are good products, they told me, but this year they are defective, and it isn't just a random one or two, but the whole product line unfortunately. They told me if it were any other year, they'd be recommending the Lenovos. I don't know off hand about the Dells, but as far as I know they are a fine reliable brand, unless you have heard otherwise about a particular model from a reliable source. I've bought HP's for my computers the last 20 years, as well as using friends' and family's Dells & Lenovos, and I felt all 3 of those brands seemed just fine, well made and reliable. My suggestion would be to do your research on the models you're interested in, go to this site, Amazon, and CNET, and see what the reviews say. Talk with experienced friends & the BB Associates and find the right one for you. In general, I don't think you can go wrong with an HP or Dell, they are reliable, just find the right model that speaks to what you like & want & which one meets your needs best. Also, consider making sure you buy a new one, because if you're worried about repair reliability, a refurbished model is where you'd need to be concerned about that. Also you can purchase the accident protection plan/Geek Squad, so that if the model you buy gives you any trouble, you can get it fixed or replaced at no cost or low cost. I always get the protection plan, and it's proven to be well worth it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Had 2 Lenovo's, boards died on both. They are not ThinkPad's anymore, just cheap Chinese capacitor junk in my opinion.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think both are great. I was actually between those 2. Went with Dell because of past positive experience.
