      Bought a cheap Lenovo in college years ago when my old computer suddenly failed and needed to buy one in a hurry to finish the year out. Never again.

          I wanna try the new I-9 processor on a 17 inch laptop.. Eye candy for us PC users..

          I'm still working with the newer I-7 intel processor I'm typing on now and it's fast but the newest I-9 processor must really fly.

              Restore it factory settings and start over like a new computer coming out of the box HUD.. System Restore and go from there, wipe everything out...

              That might clean it up and get it up to speed with new factory settings.. Just back up your data and transfer just what you need after..

              If it's a newer computer it should be faster then your last if you have memory upgrade and processor upgrade in your newer Nenov buy.. Work with it.. Go on youtube and research your computer. You can learn alot off youtube demos..

                The Lenovo E-series is junk. We tried to use them instead of the T-series at my work (because the price was cheaper)...The E-series laptops didnt last more than a year with our outside sales people. Sorry that your experience with Lenovo wasn't great. I have a lot of experience with the Lenovo T490 and T480 laptops (14" screens). We dont get the 15" version because they become pretty heavy.

                      I should have asked you guys before buying

                      No biggie, I'll bite the bullet and take the loss

                      I'm not a douche, Bezos is a prick but is not his fault, is the Chinese and their subpar assembly


                      What do you guys think of Toshiba? Never failed me

                      My last laptop was a DELL and it was GARBAGE

                        I noticed you bought it from a 3rd party seller... a lot of those computers from 3rd parties are custom built and have had alterations made where they add more memory or disk space or something along those lines, was this the case? could be a sloppy build

                            I bought a Lenovo a few years back and it came preloaded with spyware, from LENOVO! Good news was that I was part of a class action lawsuit and recouped $50. The laptop completely died within the first 6 months and they replaced it free of charge. I'll never buy a Lenovo again, IBM thinkpads were good quality, once IBM sold the laptop division to Lenovo it has gone downhill. The last laptop I purchased was an Acer Predator for my son, he hasnt complained about it so I guess it's holding up alright. I prefer to stick to desktops, If it gets slow or laggy I'll either reload the OS or upgrade a few components. I can remote desktop in to the desktop from my Ipad from anywhere and that has worked well for me.

                              In my 15 years of experience supporting different companies who have deployed laptops, we started with HP (bad), went to IBM ThinkPad T-series (great), went to Dell Latitude E-series(worse than IBM, but better than HP), and then went to Lenovo T-series (better than Dell, but as others have mentioned, not as good as the IBMs used to be).

                              I dont have any personal experience with Toshiba, and I don't see it used a lot in the corporate world. I have personally had a few Sony laptops, and they look awesome, but are VERY fragile (many times i've had the casing crack or break).

                              If I had to pick a Windows laptop for myself today, I would get a Lenovo X1 Carbon (generation 5 or higher) or T-Series and call it a day. It is expensive, but sometimes you just gotta pay extra for less headaches. Hopefully that helps narrow down your options.

                                This is true, but the spyware was loaded on "consumer" models. The T-Series and X1 Carbons did not have this issue.

                                  Hurry post the link to the model and specs.

                                  Regardless, anything with any ram and am SSD, even an i3, shouldn't be doing that. Lenova is a top brand.

                                  A charge back is fine. The product is not as promised and is faulty and it's ridiculous the return cost.

                                  CC companies don't care. I'd like to see the model number though
