Bought this laptop to replace my old G540. It came with all of the bloat-ware that is typical, and all of the unneeded Lenovo apps. Once they were uninstalled the laptop worked great, for the first 8 months. Now I am getting the Lenovo splash screen loop issue. Search: G50-45 stuck on splash screen. The OneKey Recovery button failed to work when booting from the System Recovery. At this time I am trying to go through Lenovo to resolve, but it appears that this laptop is done for good. Will update is able to resolve. At this point I wasn't able to back up any of my documents aside from what I have already stored on my other laptop. Wouldn't recommend.Update: 03/07/2016:Was able to contact Lenovo, went through the Tech Support options of trying to boot from recovery and the back up Image. But the Laptop was still stuck on the Lenovo Splash page. The Tech Support then created a ticket and advised that they might have to wipe/ reformat the entire laptop. I mailed it to them 2/29/2016, they received it 3/4/2016 and are currently repairing it. Will post another update when I receive it back.
