I think I got a defective product because after lengthy chats with both the Microsoft online assistants and HP online assistants, it was determined that the laptop had a hardware failure. Had to send the laptop to HP for repairs which included a motherboard replacement and a SSD swap (thankfully I had warranty!). Laptop has been flawless ever since.

      Why? For $2800 it’s super weak. Obviously specs aren’t everything, but if I’m paying that much for a laptop, I’m expecting much better performance from the GPU than a 5500m which is roughly equivalent to a 1060 max q.
      The processor is nice though at least, but if I’m paying that much, I expect everything to be top of the line, not just the CPU.

      I've had the gs65 for almost a year now and haven't experienced rattling, but a common issue I ran into was the enter/fn button stops working pretty much. Reddit told me its a manufacturer problem where a screw bends into a ribbon cable for the keyboard. If you take apart your laptop, you can try to un-dent the ribbon with your fingernail or something and it fixes it, but in my case, only temporarily. I even put a thick piece of tape on top of the screw so it wasn't so sharp against the ribbon, issue came back after a month or so.

      My Macbook Pro died on me 3 times in 5 years... Display, battery and motherboard. I paid as much in repairs as a brand new laptop. It was never dropped, taken good care of and the worst is it wasn't my primary machine so wasn't used that much. In comparison my parents are still rocking 8-10 years olds entry level crappy windows laptops that still run fine today thanks to replaceable batteries and swappable hard drives (now with ssd).
      I work in music events and we use a lot 15" inches for tours since some vjing and sound software is exclusive to OS X, display connection and motherboards dies regularly due to bad heat management.
      [EDIT] I don't say all Macbooks are crap, just that they have their (costly) issues. If you're a power user and need a powerful macbook insure the heck out of it because it WILL die from heat.

      @@wawa5379 true. i've never owned an Apple product, not beacuse they are bad they are pretty good, but mainly because of the price. apple can literally charge anything and people will buy it. Also i'm not the biggest fan of macOS and iOS, but i could get used to that, i could never get used to being in debt though.
      I have an 8 year entry-mid level old Acer and it still works well, i swapped in the SSD and might get a new battery for 20 bucks. this laptop has been through hell and back. the only issue i had with it was the cooler broke 3 years into ownership, but it was under warranty and they fixed it no problems. now my laptop is running a bit hot and i will do a repaste clean the whole interior and i've just disabled turbo boosting for CPU and i'll have it for a bit longer. This is also what i'm missing at apple customization, upgradability and fixing. i broke the screen on my android phone and ordered a replacement one from aliexpres for 20€. replaced it myself and it works as good as new.
      I'll probably get a new laptop within a year (my old one has a pretty bad screen now) and it will definetly not be apple. i'll still dish out a reasonable amount of money (was thinking up to 1500) but a macbook with same specs will still cost twice as much

Search for lenovo repair on google and you will be treated with enough horror stories that you never buy another lenovo. There are some nice stories, but they are very rare. Rossman is either lucky, or a marketing mascot of lenovo (even if he may not realize it himself).

    The keyboard is as good as the reviewers said it was. Battery life is great. The material its made of feels so premium (well, its a magnesium-carbon composite, so thats expected), its SO DAMN LIGHT, my sister bought a 2019 macbook air at the same time i bought my thinkpad and man, her laptop is so much havier than mine. The trackpad is very responsive. The ports are amazing. The speakers are not amazing but not bad at all - definitely not as bad as some reviewers made it seem to be.

      @@user-wj7sm9bm6p At least if those faulty issues appear a replacement could fix the problem. Imagine replacing a 2018 MBP, you'd get a new one with the exact same crappy butterfly keyboard and it would break again in a few months because it's just badly designed. And this is coming from someone who owns and loves his pre-Touch Bar MBP.

      @eden1925 5 років тому +1

      Why'd that be a problem? I mean, if the fuse doesn't blow up, everything is perfect. And if it stops working, you held or used it wrong. Think Different.

      He's not wrong:
      * they cost more
      * you cannot upgrade them easily
      * they all have flaws
      * they all thermal throttle, too
      The reality is, unless you NEED a laptop, you should build a desktop instead.
