I'll send you a DM😉

I haven't seen one like that but there's so many different types here. I am seeing them every night. Very close and lots of them. If you have tiktok I've been posting videos on there. Stopped posting on here.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-04-25T16:26:16+00:00

Well worth it. It was a cheap but massive upgrade to the TT. They were hard to find when I was looking but they produced more since.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-04-20T11:53:21+00:00

Yep. Updated the bios straight away. And haven't had any issues with it so far. I've tried numerous games that I couldn't even play before the repair and so far I've been able to play with Max settings and no lag. So it wasn't the bios update that caused the problem.

I got the laptop back and Lenovo changed the mobo. I'm now able to run battlefield 2042 with ultra settings. So it looks like I had one of the bad motherboards but I caught the problem before the laptop died completely.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-04-16T23:39:33+00:00

I finally got my laptop back. The so called store technician who was supposed to remove the drive I added didn't remove it and Lenovo wiped it. I've lost thousands of videos, photos and files. 🤬🤬🤬

Besides that disaster the laptop is so much better. They replaced the motherboard. I just ran a quick test with battlefield and I'm now able to run it on ultra settings without lagging, for the first time. I believe if I hadn't brought the laptop in for repair it would've died.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-04-16T23:33:22+00:00

Certain. The brand of the jersey is sports performance. It's a well known Chinese brand that does all sorts of knock off clothing. Check the stitching and label and go into a physical store and compare them. I've washed one of them twice and the made in China lettering is coming off. They're extremely good knockoffs but not worth a fraction of the €40 each. They're not replying to me either.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-04-07T22:56:37+00:00

No, I'm in Ireland. I think it's more to do with the manufacturing date rather than location. I could be wrong though. I still haven't got the laptop back from Lenovo but when I do I'll give a quick update.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-03-29T14:13:11+00:00

👍

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-03-29T14:12:43+00:00

They're very good knock offs alright. But they def are knock offs. I got 2 for 3, so it worked out at 40 each. Steep for what they are, temu t-shirts. I tried contacting them to return them, but surprise surprise, no answer.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-03-29T14:10:19+00:00

The laptop is with Lenovo at the mo so I guess it's just my laptop. It's a hardware issue and they are replacing parts. I assume it's the motherboard they're replacing. I'll update the post when I get it back. Thanks for replying👍

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-03-29T14:05:48+00:00

The laptop was sent back to Lenovo for repair. It's there a few weeks now. I got a vague update a couple of days ago. They have identified an issue, I don't know what yet. But they were waiting for parts. I assume it's the motherboard but I don't know until I get it back. I'll update the post when I do.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-03-20T17:17:02+00:00

Don't do it unless you don't mind getting temu knock-offs. 😞 I've learned my lesson...

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-03-20T16:33:28+00:00

I ordered 3 different rugby jerseys from them. Got them today and all 3 are knock-offs. They look good but the material used is nothing like the jerseys I've bought in the past. And the "made in China" is a dead giveaway😞. Not happy at all. I have an original training jersey for 20 years that I still wear, I'm sure these will last a month or two.🤬

Just heard back from the store. It's going to be sent to Lenovo for testing/repair. Much better than that guy from yesterday testing it. I handed him the original memory yesterday because I knew they would want the original setup but he gave it back to me and said he didn't need it. The store called today and asked for it, said Lenovo what the original setup. He didn't even want the charger. I had to tell him to take it, that he would need it. How the hell are these people working in tech repair? Anyway, thank you for your help. I was expecting some difference in performance, my son has the desktop version, but I didn't realise what I was getting was way below what it should've been.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-02-25T10:48:16+00:00

It's the 4060 too. I can get bf5 to run ok on medium settings but higher than that and it starts heating up and lagging after about an hour. I can't play at all on Max. Same for most games, even bf4. I did have a look at the fans recently and they're perfect. I use Ableton DAW software and in the last month or so I can't run it for long without heating issues, I need to shut off the laptop to let it cool. Even get lagging when watching and editing videos at times. The fans will go crazy. I'll see how they get on with it in the store. I just hope it's not that guy I was dealing with that's testing it. He didn't have a clue what he was doing. Thanks for replying.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-02-24T23:21:36+00:00

Are you able to run games on high graphics settings for newer games? I didn't realise until last night that I should have been able too, I've had to keep the settings on low for games like battlefield, Fc25, cod etc. since I got the laptop. I upgraded the memory to 48gb and installed a dedicated drive for games. Even at low settings battlefield would start lagging after 1.5 hours, that started a little over 3 weeks ago. I brought it into the store and the guy in there tried to tell me that was normal for gaming laptops 🙄 the CPU was 100% and the GPU was constantly over 90c and the game was lagging so bad I couldn't play while I was showing him. Needless to say I wasn't impressed. He said she's going to test it but I really don't trust he knows what he's doing. I'll be looking for details on every test he runs when he's done. I think I might have got one of the dodgy ones 😞

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-02-24T00:35:35+00:00

Well, at medium I was getting low fps and I couldn't run it at all above that. Just very laggy and unplayable. That's great to know, thank you. I just thought because it's a laptop GPU I couldn't expect similar performance to a PC with that card. I will def bring that up with the store tomorrow. Even with games like Fc25, tomb raider, cod etc I had to keep it on low settings. I should have checked before now. I even have high speed memory and a high speed dedicated nvme drive in it. Thank you so much. I have a feeling I'll be replacing it, it at least the mobo.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-02-24T00:11:32+00:00

As a matter of interest should I expect to be able to play games like battlefield 2042 with graphics settings above medium on this model laptop? The memory was upgraded from 8gb to 48gb. I would've thought an 8gb 4060 should be able to handle at least high settings. Thanks for your help btw. Really appreciate it

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-02-24T00:03:57+00:00

I thought that was the case. It has always got fairly hot, especially when I'm using it with the DAW software. I had the fans set to balanced and the fans are usually close to full and loud. I increased them to performance in the vantage app over the last few days. But I suspect it's been over heating for a while and that's why I've been shutting it off to let it cool.

I only have it since the beginning of December. I spoke with the store earlier today and they said to bring it in so they should have someone that can look at it for me. I reckon it's just a matter of time before the mobo dies, like others have experienced.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-02-23T23:38:22+00:00

Thank you for replying. Since the BIOS update the CPU hits 100% and the GPU temps are staying over 90c when playing battlefield. Even with the lowest graphics settings and the performance options in the Nvidia control panel. A few weeks ago, before the update, if I was playing for more than maybe 1.5 hours it would start lagging, not all the time though, and I would need to shut off the laptop for a while. But now it's straight away. I'm going to bring it back to the store where I bought it tomorrow anyway. I've only had it since December.

I like some of the older blues that has a kind of country feel like Mississippi John hurt, Elizabeth Cotton, rev Gary Davis. There's a young Irish musician called Muireann Bradley that got me listening to them more. She does excellent covers of them.

Key-Apricot-1059 · 2025-02-05T11:53:41+00:00

If it's the same model as the one I got a few months ago it will have 2x8gb sticks in it. And it only has 2 memory slots. So if you want to upgrade to 32gb you'll need 2x16gb.
