this is becoming an insanely good deal. it was a good deal at 399, better at 349. and now 299? it's one of those slickdeals i'm tempted to buy even though i dont need it!
I am sure if you wait even more till 2021 or better 2022 BF, there will be even better electronics. 😛
Review for the laptop [notebookcheck.net]

Seems to be 2 M.2 slots and 1 DDR4.

EDIT: Fixed. Found past comments recommending the Activation Troubleshoot tool which activated Windows.

------------------------------

Anyone have an issue with the laptop coming with Windows not activated?

I can't seem to find a product key anywhere in the package. Wanted to see if this is a common issue before I reach out to customer support.

If I recall someone had this issue before. They just went to some windows troubleshoot and clicked it and it automatically activated it. Hopefully someone else can chime in as well

What exactly did this do? Make it louder? made THX better? I uinstalled THX it was too quiet, but on moms black laptop it was loud on THX..go figure.




to those talking about chrome issues - Ive been using microsoft edge for a few weeks, 40 tabs open, no problem. It can lag if you have 2 vids going at once, like it takes a sec or two to "catch up" with the vid, but otherwise everything great. My macbook would probably die lol

also when gaming and itgets really hot, it never auto shut off, like the macbook air did as well.
The drivers made it much louder when using Realtek, not THX.

For those having questions on how to open the laptop and install upgrades, I found a youtube video that shows in detail how to upgrade the following on this specific laptop

RAM
wifi card
nvme drive

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iITc_8IBPK0
i noticed he downloaded driver for wifi card. i did not do this after i changed out mine. i think the laptop did it automatically. am i wrong?

I agree with the poster above. I am expecting laptop freezing frequently and there is no way to recover, the only option is to restart with the power button. Also, I am struggling to bring this computer back from sleep, it works sometimes, other times, it doesn't come back up. Maybe I am doing something wrong and would like to see if anyone else has a similar issue.
I am planning to return the laptop as it has multiple issues which I don't want to deal with even though I like the laptop and the accessories it came with.
i just started having freezing issue (twice) past few days. each time it occurred when i was typing a URL in Chrome.any thoughts?

is holding power button to force shutdown the only way to fix?

also considering using new Chromium Edge as my default browser when it is released on January 15th. any thoughts there?

Can you link? I came close to stripping a couple of mine and plan to upgrade in the near future would love to get the right kind of screws for when I do.
I don't have access to my Amazon atm but if you search laptop screws you'll see tons and tons of multipacks. They all should have the screws you need and more. The one I got had 15 diff types or so and 15 of each screw. The pack I got had 2 types that would fit just fine.

I'd suggest the wd40 to get the current ones out and replace with some from one of the packs.

i've been having issues with "Alarms & Clock"..sometimes it wont pop up and make sound when it is suppose to. when this error occurs...i can see the notifications window on bottom right indicate a new notification by means of the number of new notifications.

the only way i know how to solve this is to reboot. any help appreciated.

EDIT: also, sometimes it will miss the times to trigger alarms...then eventually all the missed alarms will trigger at same time

I have updated Windows 10 and everything in hardware except the BIOS.
I have also turned off hardware acceleration in Chrome.
I have not had issues with the screen going blank or with freezes today.
I ran all of the programs simultaneously in HeavyLoad.
The processor temp was 86 C in Silent Fan Mode and 80 C in basic fan mode.

Just go to windows setting, update, hit search for updates.. After it does it and reboot, do it again to make sure ayou got all updates. The updates help with various problems a lot of times

Amazing to see this expired thread has well over 217,000 views and over 80 pages of response. Don't think there's much of anything else with more viewership

I have to say so far it's been very stable. I am fairly satisfied for the price. It just really bother me that i still can't completely nail down the hdmi issue yet.

I was very close to getting the lenovo E495 deal. The only reason i haven't got it is the lack of backlit keyboard.

This thread is really the only source of info for this laptop on the internet, so that probably accounts for the views and posts.

Disappointed that you haven't been able to figure out the HDMI issues - luckily it works for my purposes, but I could see that being a deal breaker. Changing the HDMI settings/display timings didn't improve things?

I was quite interested in the Lenovo E495 myself, but it's too heavy for me...this laptop has probably spoiled me for future laptops in terms of weight. I'm not sure why the more mainstream manufacturers don't have anything equivalent for a reasonable price.
