[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason I had to purchase this cable is because the previous TWO cables split and stopped working. Like, the cable is FINE. Now. But I can't really evaluate the cable at this time because what would indicate to me that it was a 5-star cable was that it lasted longer than a year and a half, because I bought this laptop in 2023 and this is the THIRD cable I've had. I'm not doing anything outrageous with them: mostly they remain plugged into the wall by my bed and never move. I don't understand why they fail so easily, unless they are created intentionally for planned obsolescent and meant to break with normal use.
How bout it? Can your industry address this challenge? A power cable that maintains its integrity for the life of the computer? I don't want a free tablet; I want the stuff I buy to work for a reasonable length of time. Why is it that I have extension cords from the '80s that are as good as they were 40 years ago but I can't keep a Lenovo cable in one piece more than 18 months?
