TEXAS -- My wife purchase a Lenova laptop for me at Christmas 2011. On Jan 3, 2012 I had to return it because the hard drive crashed. I lost all my information and it was not recoverable. I received a new one from best buys because of the warranty. On May 3 my new laptop will not turn on. I took it back to best buys and they have to send it out to Lenova for repairs. They told me it would take up to 3 weeks before I will receive my laptop back. This was the worst 600 dollars we ever spent. DO NOT PURCHASE A LENOVA LAPTOP. THEY REALLY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe you a referring to a Lenovo laptop purchased at Best Buy.

The key here, in my opinion, is you bought it at Best Buy and the price was $600. Lenovo makes a good product, but not for $600.

I checked out the laptops at Best Buy a few months ago, and they struck me as flimsy and poorly engineered. I paid $2000 for a Lenovo in 2000, and it was built like a tank and worked great. I bought a Dell for $700 in 2006 and it was a piece of garbage. I am hoping to pay more and get more next time - we'll see how that pans out.

In my opinion, all laptops are filmsy, which is why I use it occasionally. When Im at home, I only use a desktop computer. When Im on the road and I bring my laptop, I would treat it gently.

This may be true today, MRM. I hope it isn't. I really am looking forward to prying my wallet open twice as far and getting something that lasts and feels like it is reasonable quality to use. You know, nice keyboard, screen, case stays together and the finish doesn't wash off with water.

Lat year I bought a laptop. I am elderly and did not know what I needed and salesmen just confuse me. I asked my computerperson (a stand alone business) to order one for me. With me present she ordered a Toshiba w/Windows 7 with just the junk I needed. I do not need the mega tetrabyte stuff because I do not play the video games. Anyhow, the computer was built for me by Toshiba and it took only about a couple of weeks to get it. I then took it to mycomputer person and she set it up for me. I only paid less than $700 dollars for it and that included the set up and the Windows Office and all that stuff. I absolutely love my computer. It works great.
