Guys,

FHD (1920x1080) vs UHD(3840x2160), which one will you choose for 14 inch laptop touch screen? I am eyeing on x1 yoga

Similar dilemma but for x1 carbon9
FHD or 4kHD - 100% srgb vs 100% DPI 3
ultimately its just battery life importance to you, expect 30% drop in hours for higher res. screens

They surely need to repair it. Unless they can prove that, it's external damage caused by the user.

my guess, they going to tai chi it due to unable to supply replacement parts due to parts shortage.
even my own order estimated 5-6 months from order till delivery.

Anyone has any experience with one-to-one machine replacement under Lenovo warranty? My laptop recently has issue charging and I have informed the service dept regarding this. However, the process of repairing my laptop has come to a halt as Lenovo is waiting the spare part required to fix my laptop to arrive. After a few weeks of no progress, I followed up with them and demanded an ETA for the spare part arrival. Fast forward to today, I received an email from IBM Malaysia that Lenovo has escalated this to a 121 machine replacement. My question is how does the whole 121 machine replacement process go? Do I get to keep my current laptop data before handing over to Lenovo?

Never mentioned ThinkPad line or IdeaPad/Legion line or anything doh.gif

did you add 'keep your drive/data' under warranty services?
No? - then you cannot get your data back, and remember to always keep a backup somewhere.
You should never send in a device with all your data as standard practice & if do, always leave bit locker on.

If the machine is <1 month old, always opt for full refund, its faster to refund and repurchase sometimes.
If machine >6 months or older, or with visual scratches, if they gave 121 just patiently take it.
Sometimes ThinkPad 121 they may give better spec/hardware, not sure for IdeaPad line

Usually max threshold to wait for parts is 1 month before they start 121/refund option process.

Its a 3 year old unit and I even bought extended warranty for it. And apparently I bought keep your drive add on too so it should save me from a lot of hassle. But the thing is now I didn't download the invoice from Lenovo OVP website when I bought the laptop through Lenovo official online store and they never send me any invoice. Apparently us buyer need to manually download it from the OVP website by using the order number.

And for 121 machine replacement they asked for my proof of purchase and I got nothing to offer. I think my order was too old and now the OVP website no longer recognizes it.

Do you happen to have a lenovo account/vantage? usually all the warranty etc is tied into it and you can check the status of repair,
and you can show it belongs to you.

kinda shitty that you need to proof that you brought it..
Try to challenge the process (proof account linked, where you brought it from, etc)

as for keep your drive, just log in (with your serial number) and show you had keep your drive, then reclaim back your drive to extract info (but then bitlocker is a bitch since opening in 2nd computer)

Maybe other users here can also chime in to help

Add:
im sure you submit taxes, rrrighttt? maybe check back your fillings for laptop purchases?
i do hope you have a physical file to keep the receipts whistling.gif
