Hey everyone
About a year and a half ago I asked for laptop suggestions. I was given a lot of good options and I knew what I wanted a ThinkPad. Being a broke college student over a 1000 thousand price tag made me look else where. I ended up with an idea pad. I cannot say enough how much I hate this product. I got up one morning and discovered it would not come on. I take it to be repaired and the motherboard is cracked. It’s un fixable and I’m down 500$. I have an old Chromebook running Linux mint so I’ve got something but it still sucks loosing that. I should’ve known better than to trust Lenovo I saw reviews of that model saying it was junk.
Don’t make the same mistake as me don’t put a penny towards a idea pad


Late to the party, but still have suggestions for people in your situation, looking for a decent laptop.
Look at refurbished laptops!
There are plenty of used laptops that can be found for a decent deal, with the only downsides being that the laptop will be slightly out of date (but can often be granted a new lease of life by upgrading the RAM, just make sure to read the specs to see if you can replace the RAM in the first place, and how much RAM you can use.
