I am looking to but a new laptop, anyone have any experience with Lenovo. I am considering a Toshiba or an Acer at this time.

 

Had a work issued Lenovo laptop on a four year lease and it operated trouble free. I did not use it a ton but it was flawless for the time I had it.

Far better than the IBM thinkpad disaster I had before that.

 

I've had a Lenovo T60 for the past 3 years. My only grips is that it's limited to 3GB RAM installed. I'm sure the newer ones don't have that limitation. Other than that, trouble free.

Well, there was the one time I drove over it, but that doesn't count.

Note: The screen did not survive. The case and hard drive did fine.

We have 4 here at work. One had a motherboard failure in the first month which was repaired under warranty. The turnaround was less than a week.

The others have been trouble free so far.

 

Was that a 32 bit windows issue, do you know?

 

Haven't had a work laptop in a while. But back in my old job we used to have Lenovo's for all the marketing and sales guys. I've heard good things about them.

I had to make to do with a Dell laptop at that time.

 

No - a limitation of the BIOS, which presumably led to the physical limitation of what could be plugged in. One slot only would recognize 1GB, and the main slot 2GB.

New definition of roadkill!

 

Ken-

We used IBM/Lenovo laptops at work for years. I never had a problem, and from my peers in desktop management I don't think the fail/repair rate was anything out of the ordinary.

 

This is difficult. I am trying to get a mid-priced computer that has a decent battery life and enough power to stream 1080p. What a PIA, you have to try to balance the three criteria.......
