Decent for price, but battery life is a major issue going by the specs. That's if they are accurate ofcourse.

I am hoping that quoted battery life is a mistake,none of the reviews i read mention battery life as an issue

I've been using my Lenovo laptop daily for 5 years without any problems, so I have had the opposite experience. But that's only based upon owning one laptop. What had your experience been?

You sound just like the old couple of who live next door to me.
They have this old Lenovo laptop that they occasionally fire it up, waiting 5 mins for Windows to load off the chuggy, slow HDD. They use it to send the occasional email or browse the weather forecast or TV listings displayed on the cheap fuzzy 1024x768 TN panel. They never take it out so the woeful less than 3 hours battery life isn't an issue. It's a piece of junk.
However, if you were to ask them, they would describe it as "without any problems" but that's only because they don't know any better....

Sounds like it suits their needs then :stuck_out_tongue:

But they could have bought something better and cheaper.
The only reason they ended up with what they did was because they didn't know any better (like the people voting this deal hot.....)

I get you, but us oldies go for the simple option, I used to be ok with technology years ago but things change so fast these days it easier to go for something that will do the job for what it'd be used for. Appreciate your more than likely right with what you're saying though :raised_hand:
Picard123 to ukwomble
14 Aug 17#51
It's not about age, it's about having knowledge of the product. I appreciate that not everyone finds technology interesting but if you have the choice between a better option or a more expensive, worse option, why would anyone choose the latter? It makes no sense.
That's what annoys me about this website at times - too many people vote hot on things that they don't understand and all that does is mislead casual buyers into buying something that's worse and more expensive than another product.

Think they're still rated as the best for touch typing. I use older Dells and have had experience of newer machines, but they're just dreadful for typing on. Almost everyone agrees older Lenovo's (think it's x220) were the best for typists, but I haven't been able to locate a decent one as yet.

They got rid of the original (brilliant) Thinkpad keyboards ages ago. These budget Lenovos now have really poor rubber domed keyswitches which are rubbish.

Yeah the IBM Thinkpads manufactured by Lenovo had the best keyboards bar none.

Been using Lenovo for years without any problems. Perhaps you should get a little more experience, or treat your devices more kindly. Just saying.

14 Aug 17#56
its nice to hear that people have had positive experiences with lenovo but thats a large assumption wouldn't you say get more experience & treat devices better ! ive often thought of giving it the hammer treatment lol

15 Aug 17#59
Sure they are! That's why businesses who use Windows laptop's are using Thinkpads as their daily drivers. Just because this laptop and the one you had might be sh!t doesn't mean the whole company is sh!t. You just need to pay a bit more for your tech and not cheap out. You get what you pay for at the end of the day.

people sure do like to assume on here I cheap out or treat devices poorly etc .. I was merely stating my opinion based on performance& experience of owning low budget & high end lenovo laptops & customer support received from lenovo

I had a budget Lenovo for a year and a few months... Then just stopped booting and would only occasionally do so every dozen attempts or so. Told it will cost more than I paid (£189.99) to replace the motherboard! Heard many other problems with budget Lenovos. Poor quality brand, avoid...

And have you had the experience with other sub-£200 laptops to say that it's a brand failing and not normal at this price?
jedijacobs to EndlessWaves
13 Aug 17#28
Yes indeed. I've used a number of £200-£250 laptops over the years, but just found Lenovo to be extremely budget quality build and longevity. Google it too, they all suffer similar problems and their customer support is poor.

I don't rate many of their 'mid to high end' laptops either. They're 'okay' but build quality and components choices are relatively poor. I have a Y50 series laptop for example that originally retailed at around £1,000. The screen is crap, the keyboard is crap, trackpad is abysmal, the SSHD has a known high failure rate etc. Even after 2.5 years of use, the plastic around the screen hinges is beginning to crack. No way do they have top end build quality of the IBM laptops from yesteryear. Everything screams 'cutting corners' on costs. Macbooks blow these Lenovos into the weeds in terms of build quality and quality of finish.
The problem is that most buyers are pretty dumb and don't consider this sort of stuff. They just look out for 'megalpixels' or low price without properly understanding the product (it makes no sense that this deal is reaching 600C for example when the laptop itself is a bit of a dog).

I've got a Lenovo g550 must be around 10 years old, never really had many problems with it, it's a bit slow last few years but probably just needs hard drive cleaning /deleting etc, think I seen it on here if remember correctly! Might go for this laptop!

Budget laptops from most manufacturers are poor quality, they have to cur corners to sell devices that cheap, and they are not designed to be repaired either (cases/components clip/glued together even)
Different with business style laptops which are expected to un 8 hours a day for 4 years. Way more expensive but these devices last and keyboards can easily be replaced.
I think these people who find it to be very slow are experiencing a common problem where hardware interrupts are eating up a load of cpu cycles due to some bad driver settings. This can be fixed by running Device Manager, expanding the IDE controllers section and Uninstalling every entry that appears there, then rebooting. These drivers will then get reinstalled with the correct settings and the problem should be fixed.
I had one which saw light use and some keys on the keyboard became u/s after 14 months. I took it to a local (reputable) repaired who told me that these are awfully time consuming to replace and the only alternative was to buy a complete palm rest with keyboard but they were £150... not worth it so just made do with a usb keyboard.

1366 x 768 on a 15.6" screen?
No, no, nooo..............
TN panel as well and both combined make this a dealbreaker.
