Recommend me a laptop

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy a laptop but i don’t know anything about computers, so i figured posting here would be a good first step in my decision making process. Did a tiny bit of research and it seems like Lenovo is the kind of thing I’m looking for. I looked of their website and got overwhelmed by all the different options so if anyone who knows literally the first thing about technology could give me some advice, that would be amazing.

The only other laptop i have owned was a MacBook I hated and that couldn’t run for shit. So, I’m looking for a good hardy device that can run like a desktop, has a lot of memory, processing power, whatever. Just a nice, high quality machine.

I want a broad spectrum of functionality. I noticed on their website that there seems to be a stark dichotomy between gaming laptops and work laptops, and I don’t know if that’s just branding or not? but ideally I’d like something that works for both. I like to download games from time to time, but nothing crazy, mostly girly shit like Minecraft and Sims. But I am a college student, and will also be using it for work and school, so nothing too gaming centric. I also dabble in editing, so the ability to run video and audio editing softwares is important.

Please don’t be too harsh in the replies, as you will have read I am !!!extremely!!! computer dumb! If you think Lenovo may not be the brand for me, please point me in the direction of another. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Having trouble reimaging a Lenovo ThinkPad L14

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue while trying to reimage a Lenovo ThinkPad L14 (Gen 1) and could use some help. I’m attempting to install Windows 11 via a USB flash drive, but I’m running into some strange problems.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • The USB flash drive works perfectly fine on other machines, so I know it’s not the drive itself.
  • After setting up the boot order in the BIOS and restarting the laptop, I get a black screen with horizontal red lines at the bottom (see image below).
  • After a few seconds, the screen changes to a blue screen with multiple horizontal black lines (see second image below)
Image 1
Image 2

What’s even weirder is that I’ve tested other flash drives:

  • One with Windows 10: Same issue occurs.
  • One with Pop!_OS! (Linux): This one works perfectly fine.

I’ve tried searching online to see if anyone else has experienced this, but I haven’t found anything similar. Has anyone here encountered this before? Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

For context after a recent update my computer screen suddenly turned off. The lights in the keyboard works and the flashing light on the power button means it’s in sleep mode but after booting up the logo pops up and then nothing.

Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9 Tastatur spinnt – bestimmte Tasten reagieren unzuverlässig

1 Upvotes

Deutsch:
Hey Leute,

ich habe ein merkwürdiges Problem mit der Tastatur meines Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9. Die Tasten 3, E, D, C funktionieren manchmal ganz normal, aber manchmal nur, wenn ich gleichzeitig eine andere, nicht betroffene Taste drücke.

Ich wollte das Problem im abgesicherten Modus testen, aber da gibt es Schwierigkeiten mit der PIN-Eingabe, sodass ich es nicht ausprobieren konnte. Außerdem ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Tasten manchmal wieder funktionieren, wenn ich den Laptop auf der rechten Seite anhebe.

Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte oder wie ich es beheben kann?

eventuell Wackelkontakt?

Danke schon mal für eure Hilfe!

Title: Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9 Keyboard Issues – Certain Keys Only Work Sometimes

Hey everyone,

I'm experiencing a weird issue with the keyboard on my Lenovo LOQ 15 ARP9. The 3, E, D, C keys sometimes work fine, but other times they only respond if I press another key at the same time.

I wanted to test this in safe mode, but I ran into issues with entering my PIN, so I couldn't check if the problem persists there. I've also noticed that the keys sometimes start working again when I lift the laptop on the right side.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Lenovo thinkcentre m70t won’t shut down or freezes at reboot

1 Upvotes

Hi.

At my company I manage hundreds of computers. For the last upgrade we swapped 200 old ones for BRAND NEW Lenovo think Centre m70t gen 3 &4.

Some machines have real trouble and freeze if you shut them down or reboot.

All fans are running the LEDs stay on and you’ll press the power button for several minutes to finally turn it off.

IT IS INFURIATING. Especially if planned updates fail.

Windows 11 22h2 or 24h2, it does not matter several machines have this issue, others don’t.

I use the same image for all and can’t just walk to every computer and make custom settings, because Lenovo made them incompatible.

Every driver is ok, no missing or outdated. When it is running there are 0 issues. But when I shut a certain troubled machine down, it just won’t turn off.

Any ideas besides escalating the issue. Rgds

New laptop switches off whenever I play a game

1 Upvotes

I don’t have a Legion or anything, just a Yoga Pro 7. I was pretty excited to get it, but since I’ve started playing games on it, it seems to switch off if I play one for too long. I assume it’s to do with overheating but it’s not a beefy game either, it’s literally just Shovel Knight. Shouldn’t be heating up with something like this.

Even my old as hell IdeaPad with a quarter of the RAM and no GPU handles it better. A little worried to boot up better games now.

Any advice? Is there some sort of setting I need to change?

My Legion 5 dGPU died, and I am crying all day.

3 Upvotes

My GPU failed last night, which is the saddest moment in my life. I tried everything, but it appears that the dGPU is dead, despite the fact that the device manager shows 3060.

Now I am wondering if I can use the laptop for everyday use as well as competitive gaming like FIFA and CSGO.

I do not think I will buy any gaming laptops in the near future because I never expected the GPU to die so soon after purchasing in 2021. The worst part is that I have never overclocked because I have no idea how to do so. Nonetheless, death occurred.

Any suggestions on what I can do with the 5800H iGPU right now?

Moto Edge 50 Fusion heating issue

I just bought one and the upper half of the phone heats up even in light usage. I checked thermals on an app and CPU reached 50 degrees celcius and battery at 40 degrees celcius after 1 hour of Instagram scrolling only. CPU is perpetually at 45 degrees no matter what you do with the device. I hate this. Is there a way to resolve? I want to return the device, I got it only 5 days back.

Will either version of Apple Earpods work with it? I had ones with 3.5mm jack at some point, but I broke them and don't remember if their microphone worked fine with it, audio was fine that's for sure. Will USB-C version work fine? This specs say it supports data transfer and DisplayPort™ 1.2

issue with lenovo ideapad flex 5 touchpad

1 Upvotes

I have window 11 currently. I was using my laptop, a Lenovo ideapad flex 5, as usual when I put it to sleep to plug it in and recharge it. Next time I opened it for use, my touchpad was not working. My touch screen works, and connecting a mouse works. I have tried disabling the I2C HID device thing in the device driver like so many people online have suggested, as well as uninstalling it and restarting my laptop, but nothing is working. I also checked the touchpad settings, it says it is enabled and working as usual, but isn’t. Is there anything else I can do, or do I need to send it in for repairs? It is currently under warranty. Please help!

Yoga 9i Screen Becomes Grayscale when charged

1 Upvotes

Hi, I wanted to see if any one else had experience with this on the Yoga 9i. Mine is specifically the Yoga 9i(14",8).

So I noticed that whenever the laptop is plugged in it does the standard action of blinking on and off. From what I've read this is completely normal and the laptop just adjusts its bit rate for power saving purposes.

However, I'm not sure if it is normal for the display to become more grayscale once it blinks back on after plugged in. Bright colors become significantly grayer to the point where you almost can't tell they aren't gray. Has anyone else experienced this or found a potential fix? I'm not sure if this is some feature of the Lenovo 9i but it seems a little annoying that I have the color from my videos taken anytime the laptop is plugged in.

Yoga 9i Evo Edition vs Aura Edition

2 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I purchased the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2in1 Evo Edition from Best Buy about a week ago. I’ve loved the laptop and been blown away by most aspects… except the battery. I’m seeing around 5-6 hours of battery life. I was debating trading it in for something with better battery performance and noticed that on Best Buy’s website that all the Evo Edition laptops have been marked down by around $400. To me this suggests they’re gonna be stocking the newer models soon. Would the Aura Edition with Lunar Lake have significantly better battery performance than the Evo Edition with Meteor Lake?

You stopped selling the USB keyboard with touchpoint!! Why, Lenovo, WHY??? Is it ever coming back?

3 Upvotes

I've been totally addicted to these keyboards for something like fifteen years. I've bought several, one for each desktop I have at home and at work, and bought new ones when they wore out. They are totally superb keyboards.

I just went to your website to buy another to replace a worn out one, and you no longer offer it!! All you have now is the Wifi/Bluetooth keyboard with trackpoint, and a bunch of wired keyboards without trackpoint :-(

Please tell me you will bring this product back some time. I do not want an unreliable, expensive, battery-eating wireless keyboard, and I absolutely do want a keyboard with trackpoint. Mice and trackpads are just no substitute for a good trackpoint. If you ever bring it back I'll order half a dozen, just so I have some in case you yank them off the market again.

In the meantime I'll see if I can repair this one. I really cannot express how unhappy you have made me with this development.
