I’m considering the LENOVO IDEAPAD GAMING 3 15ACH6 as a potential laptop for gaming and everyday use. It seems like a solid option, but I have a few concerns about its longevity and durability.

I went through hell and heaven to save up enough money to buy a laptop, and I just want to make the right choice. Will this laptop last for at least the next five years? Thank you.

Looking for a laptop mainly used for music production and uni work, as well as casual gaming from time to time.

Can anyone share link to download Lenovo M100 rgb gaming mouse driver software pleaseeee

Should i put tape on it? My laptop fell and now its shattered

I bought the Xiaomi Pad 2024 TB331FC on AliExpress, but the cameras don't work.

I go to the camera app and the message "camera error 13" appears. I've tried with the Instagram camera and it doesn't give an image.

Is it a bug or is the camera broken?

Hi, I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga 7 2in1 laptop 6 weeks ago. The battery is reporting a failure and the device now says it is fully charged when plugged in, however as soon as I unplug it, it depletes to 0 and turns off after about 5 seconds.

I spoke with sales about a direct refund and they said they would not be able to offer a refund until their technical team have decided that the product is DOA. For some reason I was under the impression that i could process a full refund at any time during the warranty period if there were internal faults. Am I at the mercy of repairs now?

Thanks in advance.

I've spent at least 10 hours on the phone trying to connect various teams within Customer care ANZ and EU to be able to do their job and to process my refund because they were unable to talk to each other internally.

So I requested a compensation for dealing with all of their BS having to pretty much do their jobs. I was refused anyt of compensation and when demanding explanation and reasoning for this lack of customer care, Stephanie from Lenovo ANZ replied:

Good morning, .........,

Lenovo appreciates you may disagree with the remedy decision and if so, you may escalate externally with the consumer advocacy group of your choice.

 Regards, Stephanie

Best CUSTOMER CARE ever. Thanks Lenovo ANZ for being such a great company.

Hi,

A few months ago I installed popOs (Linux) on my Lenovo p51 and deleted windows from it. After that I started to have some problems with my pc:

• my track pad stopped working

• after some time my computer seems to freeze, as an example (I have 2 external monitors) if I have two windows of Firefox running, one will keep working and the other will still work but I can't click on it. I can still click the super(windows) key and open a terminal to shutdown.

I have reinstalled windows 10 but the same thing happens there. It feels to me there's some configuration missing or something. But I am not sure how to check or what to check.

If someone could help it would be great.

i just bought a new battery for my Laptop. for a moment it acting perfectly, but after a while it's acting up

How do I fix this?

I'm in need of a new laptop since mine is slowly starting to decline and honestly idk if it's worth fixing my keyboard.

I currently have a Lenovo yoga which I am very happy with, I initially thought about getting another yoga but I've been reading reviews on the ThinkPad and IdeaPad. I mainly use my laptop for school/"business" purposes albeit not heavily. I'm unsure if I will pursue further education in the future, so far I'm taking a class here and there for fun.

I was thinking about the ThinkPad E16 Gen 2 Intel (16″), seeing as it's a good deal for cyber Monday but I'd like some more insight on the laptop itself (if anyone is currently using it) or any insight on the other Lenovo laptops.

I don't game often on my laptop either, maybe I'll boot up the Sims every now and then but now often.

I also don't do any "heavy" work such as coding and don't use my laptop for long periods that often, on avg maybe 3 hours every other day, so maybe the ThinkPad may not be the ideal choice?

I would like something pretty durable, my yoga lasted me about 4-5 years.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Does anyone know how to extract the .cab file from the .iso image posted on lenovo's firmware website?

They now only offer .exe and .iso images, but when I mount the .iso image, it is empty. Previously they offered a .zip file, which unzipped to a .cab file, so it was easy to update the firmware. Now with .iso, it mounts and it is empy. The checksums of the downloaded .iso is exactly the ones posted on the website, so I know the downloaded file is fine. Mounting as a UDF throws an error.

Regards.

Hi i am new here I have a problem I have this laptop for a year and a half and I want to update ssd and ram so I search and I found that I can update I found which parts are compatible so I bought it, I watched videos how to do. But this morning I opened laptop and voila I found that there are no space for adding ram there are no space for hdd and ssd so wtf

It is going to be my college laptop (I already have a great desktop w rtx 4060, 32gb ram, and ryzen 5 for heavy tasks) I'm mainly going to use the laptop for studies and online exams. That's why for battery life and portability I went with the slim 7x (snapdragon), but macbook pro m3 seems to offer a better battery life and better performance on single threads also it has a SIGNIFICANTLY better GPU, but lenovo slim 7x has better performance on multithreaded workloads. The prices are around the same.

I'm in the market for a new laptop and trying to decide between two specific models.

1. Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in1 14" AMD Ryzen 7

- 16GB RAM

- 1TB storage

2. MacBook Air 13.6" M2

-16GB RAM

- 256 GB storage

I need a new laptop for school, I would say I'm a relatively light user, I've had my current budget Acer laptop for almost 8 years with only minor issues.

My priorities for a laptop are cost (under $1200 CAD - base price before taxes), longevity, and weight. Both laptops meet my criteria for price. So my question is whether getting a Mac is worth the extra cost (about 100$), the slightly smaller screen, and the hassle of getting dongles and adapting to a different OS.

It seems as though the Macbook might have a better battery life and is a bit lighter. And I'm wondering if the screen will provide for better viewing since I like to use my laptop outside in the summer on occasion. On the other hand, I'm a little worried about the longevity of the MacBook considering the amount of storage, how delicate Apple products can be, and its repairability.

As a final note, the touchscreen on the Lenovo model is a bonus for me but not a dealbreaker.

I started to hear some chipping clicking noise in my laptop (6months old). I noticed that the noise happens when I connect the 170w AC charger and start scrolling or changing content on the screen. Once I disconnect the charger, the noise stop. I tried with a USB charger and no noise. Only happens when connecting the original charger. Any idea or somebody with same issue? I've sent a service request since the laptop still on warranty but waiting on their replies.

Quick Question: We purchased this laptop for my son 18 months ago before his freshman year of college. He is now in his sophomore year and it’s not holding a charge. He brought it home for me and it had an orange flashing light when we plug in the charger. Does anyone have an idea how we can get this to charge? Also, when it is charging is it supposed to be a solid orange light?

Thanks for your help!

*update: my son said before it “broke” it would be a solid orange when it charges

i ordered a yoga 7 on black friday and with it came with free delivery + shipped in the next 4-6 days. in my case it says it’ll be shipped this tuesday. i didn’t build / configure it so i didn’t think to much about it but after consulting this subreddit it feels kinda too good to be true?? i’ve only seen stuff about delays + months long wait so i just wanted to see what everyone else’s experiences with lenovo and their delivery times is. should i expect it to come on time this tuesday or will i see a delay email in my inbox soon?

I order a Thinkpad X1 on 11/24. Was really excited to get it. Delivery was scheduled on 11/26 with the expected date to complete the order being 11/29 on Lenovo website. The next 4 days UPS kept on updating status as “Delivery Attempted. Not at home”, but no one actually ever came for all 4 days!

On 11/30 I received 2 UPS deliveries from two separate drivers one of which was my work laptop that needed a signature but still no sign of my Thinkpad. The UPS customer service was not at all helpful as they refused any request to divert my package to an access point saying the seller (Lenovo) has placed restrictions. When I actually went into a UPS store I was not entertained and was told this is a ‘corporate’ problem. When I tried contacting Lenovo to redirect the package to a UPS access point for me to collect I was told it can’t be done for privacy and policy reasons (we only deliver to residential addresses) Frustrated and tired dealing with this the past 4 days I asked the Lenovo customer service rep to initiate the return and get me refund. I was told my refund will only be processed once Lenovo gets the Laptop back from UPS. So now, my refund is dependent on how UPS handles their parcels (I never even touched the laptop on which my refund is dependent)

Any advice on how can I get my hands on a Thinkpad X1?

1. Picking up at Best Buy was considered after placing an order at the website but the Lenovo website keeps picking my location as Arizona and says nothing available in 50 miles radius. (not on VPN)
2. Not sure if I should place an order for home delivery again with the experience above.

I see my 10+ years of loyalty with Lenovo coming to an end.

I recently returned a new Lenovo machine within the 30-day return period as I was not satisfied with its performance. Before returning it, I reset Windows to factory settings. However, I had created a D drive on the system and stored some very important and sensitive data there. The device has already been dropped off at UPS for return.

Could you please clarify the usual process in such cases? Does Lenovo’s service center wipe all data from the entire hard drive, or do they only reset the C drive? Is there a risk that the data stored on the D drive could be exposed?

I’ve tried contacting Lenovo Tech Support, Customer Support, and Sales Support, but no one seems to have an answer or contact information for the relevant department. Can you please help me understand if my data is at risk of exposure?

I am currently in grad school for my Environmental Science Masters, and need a computer with decent graphics to run 3D modeling programs such as ArcGIS. I don't really do any gaming, but occasionally edit videos.

I am trying to decide between the Legion Tower 5i Gen 8 with the Intel i7-14700F for $1414 and the Tower 5 Gen 8 AMD Ryzen 7 7700 for $999. On paper, there is not a significant difference, but I realize that can vary in real world usage.

Would it be worth spending the extra $400~ for the Intel i7, 16GB more of RAM, and a second HDD? Or should I just save the $400 and get the AMD model?
