The SSD is just a hard drive, and they do die...

You wouldn't tell people not to buy a Ford because you owned one once that got a flat tire...



view as:

But I would expect someone not to buy if they are expecting good support, and the vendor cannot offer that.

Seems like that is premium support. Lenovo only does that if you pay the upgraded support fee and have a business model laptop. Most have to mail their laptop to the depot and wait 1-2 weeks to get it back... then discover the original problem wasn't fixed.

In my experience, Dell's support is pretty good.


Today is not a good day to extoll Lenovo's benefits :\

Internal computer parts are not even close to comparable to a tire. A more reasonable comparison would be a clutch, which you'd expect to last more than a year if treated properly.

eh, I had a wheel bearing go bad on a brand new car after 8k miles.

The model/make reviewed excellently, and is still considered a great choice. Two years later, it's been reliable and gets us from point A to point B affordably.

Manufacturing is hard.

Especially when you are not the one who manufactured the item, but get the blame for it's failure (Hitachi hard drives in Dell computers... Takata airbags in Toyota cars...)
