I bought it 3 days ago, must rebuy it and return the last one (even not open it yet).
Same but I bought it a week ago. I wonder how I go about sending it back for free? Do I have to pay for return shipping?

If you bought at amazon, just go to your orders, then click return and follow the process. Normally it's free if you go to the UPS store, don't tear off the battery sticker on amazon box if you have no color printer.

Thunderbolt has been developed by Intel, in collaboration with Apple.

Had two idea pads and both had issues with the hinges breaking and then cracking the screen due to the flexing. One was fixed under warranty the other was denied. Got both fixed anyway and they did it again less than two years later. Obviously not all IdeaPads have this issue but this series did. Techrestore place in Louisville confirmed they see a lot of these issues with the hinge breaking. I'll never buy another lenovo again.

Picked up the 3050ti version from BestBuy for the same price. It's a perfectly fine machine, a little loud but also a bit cooler than similar models. Screen isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be, mine tested at 270 nits 94% sRGB. Keyboard is fine and the trackpad is better than expected for this price range.

Lenovo includes the 2.5" drive caddy and cable to install a 2.5" SSD. You can also install an additional 2280 NVMe SSD in place of the 2.5" drive but you will need an m.2 standoff and screw.

You will also want to upgrade the memory. The single 8GB stick gets cut down to 6GB after sharing memory with the iGPU. The included stick is bottom of the barrel single rank 16 bit depth (1Rx16) memory, basically throw away. I recommend the 32GB dual rank 8 bit depth (2Rx8) from timetec on amazon.

That a big NO from me on the display: 15.6" FHD (1920x1080) IPS 250nits Anti-glare, 45% NTSC, 120Hz, FreeSync

250 nits is junk, they're using 8 year old IPS panels, thx for the update. 8gb ram and 256 probably $35 cost for the company, another $70 for the GPU, and they make $300 profit per laptop at least.

No the Best Buy Gigabyte is better. There was also a $650 3060 with 16GB ram at Newegg but not sure if thats still available.
