We're not talking about luck here. I know I know. When you are unlucky, you get a lemon unit. When you are lucky, your laptop becomes super reliable for 10 years and above.


But the problem now is that.... my own Lenovo laptop and my friends' Lenovo laptops are all becoming faulty after 1 year. Some of the laptops could not even last up to 6 months.

Problem that I encounter is in such a way that the laptop overheats, and occasionally shuts down. It gets severe this week, in which the laptop shuts down after 5 minutes of usage, and the laptop is super hot. I already sent to computer shops to reapply thermal paste and do a thorough cleaning, but still the problem occurs. Same goes to my friends' Lenovo laptops, they get BSOD while gaming. Temperature often goes above 95 degree no matter how we clean the inside of the laptop.




I suggest you to avoid Lenovo brand. And ofcourse, based on my personal experience, the most reliable laptop brand goes to ACER. I owned around 3 Acer laptops previously but I sold all 3 of them cause they couldn't meet my gaming needs after few years, now I regret it ofcourse. Those 3 Acer laptops have got no problems so far, I sold them off just because the graphics cards are weak for newer generation games.


Again, please avoid Lenovo.

Y400, as in my signature

Probably mine is a 14 inch packed with a Core i7, it could be the cause of the overheats.

These are the photos of my Lenovo Y400, I took these photos around 1 hour ago...

You can see how much I take care of it, even the sticker covering and protecting the sides of the screens haven't been peeled away hahahaha....

and it is always sitting inside my bedroom....but the overheating problems cant be avoided, got external cooler fans some more...

Overheating piece of crap. Nuff said.


Lenovo beats MSI and ASUS in terms of goreng pisang panas~~~ 95 degree celsius, i can boil one egg at 100 degree

Exactly my friends and my problem right now....

can't even run the laptop smoothly even after I force reformat the whole laptop....the problem still occurs, still shuts down by itself...

sometimes, when i just switch on the laptop, the temperature rises to 65 degree celsius within 1 minute..and it gets super hot damn.....

I own the laptop for 3 months now, send for cleaning and reapply thermal paste for 3 times, each time kena charged rm80, maybe kena scam or what...

And I don't play games on this machine, I only use it for AutoCAD and my assignments lol.....warranty over also liao

any other suggestion to fix? or no choice but to sell it cheap? hahaha

Haha! Good luck to any future Lenovo owner. Either you take my advice or...you shall waste your hard earned RM3000 on a laptop that gets faulty after 1 year. RM3000 seems like a small amount to people who are working....but in my case, I'm still a university student. And i tried selling away the laptop, highest offer I got is only RM200. Stubborn people who don't want to learn from our mistakes, go ahead and buy and support your Lenovo laptops, good luck going through all these hassle in the near future.

I just found out that I was scammed actually. I sent this laptop to the computer shop to reapply thermal paste but got scammed.

Last night, my brother in law came over and helped to disassemble the whole laptop.

The moment he opened the back casing, he already told me the inside of the laptop looks "virgin". Like never open before, very new

Opps, sorry for the late reply to your comment. Yeap, some people actually offered me RM50 for the faulty Y400 laptop. I have sent the laptop for servicing at computer shops (Can't bring to Lenovo warranty cause warranty expired liao)....now bring back home, problem still have, now becomes more terrible....Earphone jack can no longer be used, when plug my speaker or headphone in, got electricity distortion sound. Temperature rise to 65 degree on idle around 5 minutes after switch on

Saw your thread on that. And you bought a Macbook now, which Macbook did you buy? I'm planning to buy a more reliable laptop for my assignments and studies purpose. Right now, the Lenovo Y400 sits there collecting dust whole day only, sometimes night time got use to try see how serious the problems...

That is just because these companies pay to advertise their products, making their products to be god-like, but they do have many problems, after sales services are poor.

Yeap, thermal shutdown is the worst nightmare after spending hard earn RM3000 on a laptop, im trying to look for a laptop without this problem, so far it is Acer, Apple, Toshiba...(Based on my own experience and my friends')

Good lah Acer.......now Im planning to sell away my whole desktop system, give up gaming and go for one Acer laptop....desktop system quite hard to carry around also

The most reliable brand goes to?

So....which laptop should I invest? something that can last long? Asus? but my friend's Asus gpu also fried, and the LCD also got one dead pixels line...


so hard to get good laptops

CPU temperature at 46 degree celsius is completely fine, considering the hot weather in Malaysia. As long as your laptop does not shut down, then it should be okay. My Lenovo laptop heats up within 5 minutes of usage, and the whole laptop is very hot hahaha. It happens probably because the CPU itself is located at the middle of the whole system, when it generates heat, the heat flow to ambient conducted through the heat sink from the CPU, this heat is usually trapped underneath your laptop if your laptop has no external cooler.

Well, if it causes discomfort, just get an external keyboard. Problem arises once your laptop starts to shut down unexpectedly.

ONE MORE REASON NOT TO BUY LENOVO LAPTOPS OR PRODUCTS.
