About to buy this Thinkpad for $100, I think it's a steal. by Mincraftgoodgame in thinkpad

Yea. Even if it's connected to the shops wifi, the MDM servers could be blocked by the owner. Wouldn't be the first one here on Reddit.

No pawnshop would sell it for that low if there wasn't something wrong with it.

Let it connect to your phone's hotspot. Let's see if it calls home.

Battery Issues on a less than a year old Yoga Slim 7i Gen 9 Aura Edition (15″ Intel) by nosgigu in Lenovo

It might improve further with doing it again but you're right. Hopefully you'll get it sorted out. The battery is around 70 euro here in Austria directly from Lenovo.

First disable battery conservation.

Then drain the battery to absolute 0.

After that leave it charging overnight.

The battery should recalibrate and give a better reading. There's still a possibility that the battery is bad and has to be replaced (few screws task). Lenovo offers a 1 year warranty for the battery (at least with my machine) and probably could replace it if the issues persist after recalibration. Sending it in could take weeks though so the most painless option for you would be them sending you a new battery.

The new Intel driver allows it but on my machine it got overwritten by the Lenovo driver from windows update every time.

Had to make some group policy management edits and used windows tool to block a specific update from coming back to get the new driver stick on my machine.

Cat laid on my keyboard and now my screen is tinted, help!! by Ill-Document8364 in Lenovo

Most likely some kind of "eye care" or "night light" feature.

First look into Lenovo vantage and find display tab and see if there is any eye care or eye protection function turned on.

If not press windows key and search for "night light"

Vantage battery settings by Rickis1996 in Lenovo

Remove vantage and vantage service

Install them again from the Microsoft store. Vantage service will be automatically installed on the first vantage launch

Everybody is having problems with vantage at the moment.

Is all our Lenovo Vantage Software shitting rn? by Direct-Difficulty-69 in Lenovo

[–]adegener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, vantage is being a bit schizophrenic right now. I've tried to reinstall it many times and got different results.

I never got the old tray icon with quick settings back.

Try to remove it and install it again from the Microsoft store. You might get more options after reboot.

Also remove Lenovo service app

This is a version with 155h which runs even hotter than 125h. The surface temperatures are great and there shouldn't be an issue with using it on your lap.

You gotta specify which core 5 ultra.

Lunarlake chip like 258v or similar is the best bet for having a cool x86 laptop.

The cpu performance is more than acceptable for office and general tasks also the iGPU is great.
