My colleague using the L14 Gen 4 with Ryzen 5Pro, Win 11Pro, frequent bluescreen even with latest updates.

While I am using L14 G2 with i5-1135G7, Win 11Pro. Upgraded from Win 10Pro few months ago. Initially also bluescreen quite often, rather stable since about a month ago.

Indeed quite frustrating

Also noticed the animations are smoother on my laptop compared to theirs for some reason, especially scrolling and switching in between applications quickly.

But I have some doubts for Lenovo reliability nowadays. My L14 G2, in my department alone bricked like 10+ units already. Even more for older models like E480.

1) Put on charge, put laptop to sleep/close the lid. Come back after lunch, cannot boot. Donezo, bricked.
2) Put to sleep, close the lid. Put in bag, go out. Reach destination, laptop excessively hot/straight up burned mobo.

Not sure if it's Windows fault or Lenovo BIOS issue. Or both. Yet they continue to procure more Thinkpads

Yeah, headache indeed.

They can procure X1 series for all of us, if they want to. All my bosses are using, just higher cost for the firm. Just look around the entire current lineup, similar spec models cost around the same (P,T,L,E series). Idk if it's really low cost. Perhaps the argument is high spec L/E series vs low spec P/T/X1 series.

Nevertheless, still doesn't excuse itself (themselves) for not being able to reliably carry out basic tasks that even current entry level consumer laptops excel in.

For my firm, it happened a lot when we were on W10.

Now that we moved to W11 and latest batch laptops, yet to hear mass reporting of such issue. Time will tell.
