In some cases the universe of savvy innovation advancements slams into the planet of imbecilic client assistance arrangements. That crash generally doesn't look good for the client.
For my situation, that situation is especially obvious. I purchased Lenovo's Chromebook Duet 5 at an alluring cost from a significant public hardware store. Looking back, that was a buy I want to fix.
The Duet 5 is viewed in various dependable audits as the best generally speaking ChromeOS tablet/separable PC accessible this year. Its bigger screen and separable standard size console make a usable and fun tablet experience not accessible with unadulterated Android gadgets.
For my purposes, that honor misses the mark concerning arriving at that imprint. As a matter of fact, in the event that your essential requirement for a Chromebook is to run Linux applications, reconsider not accepting Lenovo's Duet 5. You could get a unit like mine that doesn't do Linux despite the fact that it should work. That disappointment isn't viewed as a legitimate case under Lenovo's guarantee.
I have become very enamored with Chromebooks. ChromeOS gadgets supplement my work space framework of Linux PCs. They connect to my Android telephone and its applications. I can run a similar efficiency applications and access their information straightforwardly on the Chromebook.
What took care of my fascination with the Duet 5 is its sensible development to the exceptionally well known 10.1″ unique Duet I purchased a couple of years prior. The Duet line has a separable console and is an independent ChromeOS tablet.
Setting need versus need to the side, I discussed the possibility of additional efficiency and comfort with a greater screen at 400 nits, bigger console, and 8GB of RAM. I knew the producer and the retail location as well as the product offering. Or on the other hand so I thought.
What could turn out badly? Three things: a bombed item, no help, and a guarantee that likewise didn't work!
Perhaps One Too Many
The last thing I expected to purchase was one more Chromebook. Throughout the course of recent years, I have utilized four or five models from HP, Lenovo, and Asus.
The Duet 5 appeared to actually look at every one of the containers. As it ended up, the mark of approval dropped out of the container for dependable technical support and client care.
No, I was unable to return the PC. When I found its faulty nature the fix window had shut.
I guess this occurrence will push me to purchase costly extra store guarantees for more affordable electronic gadgets. Making an already difficult situation even worse, Lenovo technical support said the breakdown was "past the extent of the maker's one-year guarantee."
A last correspondence from Lenovo's technical support let me know that in the event that I transported the gadget to its maintenance office, every one of the experts would do is reset the unit to its unique OS status and eliminate Linux.
Hell, I had previously done likewise two times.
Lenovo Buyers Beware
This record isn't planned to be an item survey. Rather, it determines what happens when corporate haughtiness obliterates the client experience.
I normally expound on business innovation issues and open-source advancements affecting the Linux OS. My detailing beat covers with web based business and client relationship the board (CRM) issues.
As a tech essayist and item commentator, I am utilized to makers sending me top-of-their-line items in order to flaunt their best products.
