Fuck Lenovo laptops. I’ll stick to HP. Or switch to Dell, Acer, Asus or Toshiba. Lenovo is trash.

Sony vaio and Fujitsu used to be so good too now they are extinct, now we have to use modern hardware which is made by modern scum, right u/fschmidt?

I wish Sony and Fujitsu kept making computers. But they didn’t. Also, LG stopped making smartphones. A lot of good brands have stopped making products.

I am on some HP machines right now, so i agree on this.

But updating the UEFI with Linux seemed impossible. So i had to send them back to the dealer.

They reinstalled windooze (because i don't touch this fucking virus) and updated the UEFI on them.

For me that was a rare though useful appliance of money.

Then i switched hard-drives again. Easy, basically. Only took a while, sadly.

On the laptop i can't deactivate the "beep" since then. But i cannot be bothered by bullshit like this.

Anyways: My plan on buying Lenovo machines ever again is dead now.

Never had a Lenovo. I have a HP laptop, previous one was also HP, and the one before that one was a Dell.
