What owners single out
In their words
“The OLED 4k touchscreen is absolutely gorgeous . Love the upgradeability. The A1000 model supports 2 NVME SSDs. You can upgrade RAM yourself. They publish the hardware maintenance manual so anyone can make upgrades. The laptop is fast and responsive with Intel H processors. Legendary keyboard and red pointing stick/knob. The WebCam has significantly improved!! Battery life is not as good as a MacB”

“This thing doesn’t work very well. I’ve had multiple hardware issues. I have to reboot every day in order to get my mic or speakers to work. I’ve only had it a month and I’ve had to perform a hard reset with a paperclip just to get it to turn on. I have to make setting changes in multiple places because of this asinine Lenovo Vantage software (that you can’t uninstall). Overall this thing cost me ”
