My Lenovo Yoga 310 has clapped out that I bought late 2017 but now the Lenovo are only making quite expensive Yoga Notebooks. I bought my Yoga for around 1K over 3 years ago but the cheapest one they make now is over 2K

Heaps. Probably all of them.

That's a short life for a note book. How about you define 'clapped out' ??

nice_lady - 2021-09-04 17:54:00

Off there's a serious problem theres a possibility depending on what it is that you could get it fixed or replaced for free under the CGA.

Yeah please state the EXACT issue with your laptop. It's too young to be thrown away and replaced at YOUR cost.

Battery mostly I talked to woman at Lenovo yesterday who said I can get a refund or replacement but a replacement could be months. She didn't say this but I think they are unlikely to replace a 1K one with an over 2K one.

They should be able to supply a replacement battery.

I'll see if want to do that but I think their warehouse is in Australia. So as with the replacement option that could be months.

Theres a problem between 2 of the same generation notebook/ laptop of all brands that do make touch screen versions.
Discovered it recently when hunting for a new laptop.
The spec's of the touchscreen version will be much lower then the non touch screen version.

I wouldn't be using it for rocket science or anything at all like that. I just like the touch screen for the ease it gives for enlarging.

Hold ctrk key and roll the Mouse wheel.

Enlarges or shrinks.

Very easy.

Hold Ctrl & tap zero key - page back to standard size.

Easy.

I don't use the mouse with my Chromebook but it does have the ctrl + & -
I just found the touch screen easier to use. I am a bit slow in the head compartment.

You're seeing a shortage of stock - there isn't much around and what is available isn't generally isn't a great deal right now.

A battery isn't "clapped out". Do you buy a new car when the battery dies? Buy a new battery yourself...........
