Dont need anything special, just basic school/work laptop.

I bought a Leveono awhile back and it has been not the greatest. I had and ASUS that was a champ but I heard they have fallen in quality.

What other brands to look into besides Mac?

I looked into Macs, they have just as many hardware problems as Dell, Lenovo, etc.

I ended up with an LG gram, I didn't know it existed until someone mentioned it on this board. It was everything I was looking for. Long battery life, decent specs and priced well IMO for an almost ultrabook.

Can you elaborate?


Lenovo is in top in the corporate world. They are typically very reliable. There are many, many reasons a typically reliable machine would be unreliable and most of them involve human error.

With Dell, hp, Lenovo their consumer level laptops all fall apart. Their enterprise laptops are beasts. When going enterprise, Lenovo > dell > hp. Consumer is all kind of a crap shoot.

My advice, if you want something that will last get an enterprise series. They're a fair bit more expensive but you get what you pay for.

All the crap that came on it from the factory man it rather slow. I upgraded the ram on it and deleted somethings and it helped.

You could always wipe/load with Win10 media creation tool to remove all bloatware

Yep. And check out Chris Titus GitHub project about debloating windows 10. Search on YouTube it explains everything. Speeds up performance by getting rid of background processes you didn’t ask for. Like one drive and Microsoft edge. Gone. Windows is now snappy.

ETA removes Xbox, cortana, your phone app, but you can choose to keep some features.

It does run a lot better after doing that.

So Lenvono has a ton of different ones. What would you all say is the best one for $500 or less.

She is going back to school and it will be used for work but nothing crazy like designing.

She thinks my Ideapad 330S is to big so I guess she want a 14"

TIA
