I bought a Lenovo Think Pad about 17 months ago & it has been nothing but a pain in the butt. It crashed after 8 months & Lenovo had to replace the hard drive. Then it crashed again at 15 months. I was on the phone on both occasions to Lenovo for hours on end. The last time the warranty was expired & I was sure that they could not be more awful & dismissive than the first time but they were.
I had bought a warranty with the computer so this time I expected to have the computer fixed with no hassle but again I was supremely disappointed. They said it was a software issue, not a hardware issue so it wasn't covered. I turned the computer off & shoved it in the closet because I couldn't deal with my anger & frustration stemming from the blatant & complete lack of responsibility from those who should have been obliged to help me.
So long story short, (yes I know it's too late) I finally took it into Texas Tech Solutions today. Not only were they able to confirm it was a hardware problem but offered to talk to the warranty company explain what they found. They also have great rates & bill in 15 minutes increments & are as honest as the day is long. They could have kept the laptop to repair, racked up a huge bill & I would never had known the difference. Instead they gave it back to me, informed me it was a hardware & not a software problem & told me to send it to the warranty company to have it fixed for free. I offered to pay them more than their rate for saving me so much money but they graciously declined. Because of all they did & how trustworthy they are I am now a loyal customer for life.
So what have we learned here... First never, ever, ever buy anything from Lenovo & secondly if you do have a lemon laptop, or PC, do your self a favor & take it to Texas Tech Solutions even if you're a Longhorn like me :) read more
