[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great computer! Although larger than other brands, the keyboard, track pad, display, speed, and ruggedness make it a completely comfortable platform to get work done.

Lenovo p53 specific restart problem
on August 19, 2020
Posted by: NewLenovoH8er
from NYC
I have a P53 that is less than five months old. I have had issues with it from the first week because it is constantly needing to be restarted to update. I even purchased the Windows pro edition so that I could stave off restarts for a month or so because I typically have several windows open in perfect arrangement while working on several larger projects at once that I have to walk away from here and there. It is not windows that forces me to restart, but the Lenovo specific bloat-ware that will start dinging every 30 seconds or so until you restart… and then sometimes it just restarts for you without you being able to choose. this happens about every other day. Best case scenario, I have to restart my computer twice a week. Over the last two days I had to restart both days for new updates. At this point I’m beyond suspicious LOL it’s absurd. I’m going to put this on the shelf and let it sit for years until it’s obsolete. I would rather that than sell it, and have someone else have to deal with this headache. I will also mention that I left a much more colorful version of the same review earlier, and it was reviewed and apparently did not meet the “website guidelines” I hope that just means that they thought it was too colorful he worded, and they are not afraid of having honestly negative reviews on their website.
I am giving at one star In every category because I am not able to enjoy any of the different areas that it’s asking me about because I am constantly too bothered trying to figure out what programs I was using before it automatically restarted, or made me restart with the loud beep it makes every 30 seconds every few days.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
