Late last year my main Lenovo laptop had to go in the shop. To get me by while it was out of service I bought a smaller, lighter, cheaper computer, a Lenovo Flex-14 “2 in 1”. It was under $550, and I’ve generally been happy with it, but it has an occasional screen flickering. The screen will momentarily go black.  In my family, we have had Dell, Samsung, Asus and Lenovo Computers knocked out over screen issues, so I googled to see if this was a big problem with the Flex 14, and googling “Flex 14” and “flickering” yields 403,000 hits. 

Based on the hassles of backing up, packaging and shipping my other Lenovo machine twice for warranty repair, right now I don’t think the problem is sufficiently bad enough to send back my computer.  I’m keeping an eye on it.

I don’t have an intention of filing a lawsuit against Lenovo or even taking on one as a lawyer. To assist folks that might need to file one, I found this lawsuit against Lenovo for a claimed screen defect in the Flex 5 from 2017.  Here is the link.  https://www.classaction.org/media/gisairo-v-lenovo-united-states-inc.pdf.  This isn’t my case. I have nothing to do with it.  For more information, contact the lawyer on the complaint. 

(For the Apple fanboys out there. We have had a number of Macbook Pros and Macbook Airs over the years, and most of our problems with those machines have been limited to bad external power supplies and cords to the power supplies.  Well, that and a Macbook Pro 13 would cost about three times what I paid for the Lenovo Flex 14.)
