[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this during black friday and I am really happy with the quality of the build and the specs. With the upgradeable RAM option I think I will have this laptop for many years. They keyboard was a surprise, as it felt very responsive
I was happy with my new Lenovo laptop until about 2 weeks ago. I was sent a notification to update it and so I did. Ever since then the whole logon experience has changed. Now more than half the time the laptop will not react at all when I start to use it except for the power button blinking. Then I have to shut it down and turn it back on. It used to be that I would open the lid and it would take me right to my password screen and I’d be in. Now I have to turn it on and off and then it goes through some Lenovo boot up screen, all because I updated through Lenovo. Why!? I’ve tried several fixes and nothing puts it back the way that it was. If this is the way it works with Lenovo updates then I don’t think I’d ever buy another Lenovo.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
