The right hinge on our Lenovo started pulling up on the casing, which in a matter of weeks led to the screen breaking completely. All of this was bad, but since it happened after we'd only had it for six months, we should still be good, right? The Lenovo manufacture warranty covers hardware failure and defects during the first year, so surely this would count?After more than an hour on the phone with Lenovo tech support, unfortunately, the answer was essentially, "nah, we're good, take care of it yourself." Why, you might ask, would a manufacturer warranty not cover an issue with the hinge of the laptop destroying the laptop, after only extremely light use? The guy on the phone told me, "Hardware doesn't count the outside of the laptop. We mean hardware like the motherboard. Only the INSIDE of the laptop is covered."So, buyer beware. Personally I'll never buy another Lenovo product again. And I'll certainly never waste any time thinking their manufactures warranty is worth a damn.
