Yes, my new laptop is already broken. I can't turn it on. We asked my brother-in-law for advice because he knows more about computers than we do. He said that the battery probably needs to be replaced. I am going back to the store next week. I have the receipt and they are usually pretty good at handling situations like this, but it is annoying. It wasn't cheap, and I didn't expect it to die after two months 
Right now I am using an old laptop. It has Windows 7 and it is super slow, but it is okay. I haven't used Windows 7 for years and it took me a while to get used to it. I had forgotten how slow it was 
It will be nice to return to Windows 10, but right now I am just happy that I can still use the internet.

Yes, it is much too quick. I didn't expect that at all. All of my other laptops lasted longer than that.

Yes, I expected it to last longer than two months. I went to the store today and they are going to repair it. I will be nice to get it back. I hope that they are able to fix the problem.

@Porcospino That's good to hear but so they should after only 2 months.

Sorry that it was a letdown. I hope it comes with a warranty, though, so you can have it fixed for free.

Yes, fortunately there is a warranty, and they are going to repair it for free. I went to the store today, and they said that I will get it back in a couple of weeks. I hope it works properly when I get it back.

They don't make it like they use to, exchange it for another unit if possible

let's hope it's just the battery and nothing else.

Mine needs to be replaced as well, it drains a lot faster now than it should. What laptop brand is that.

It is a Lenovo laptop. My old laptop was a Lenovo as well. It worked for 6 years without any problems.

They wouldn't let me exchange it for another one, but they are going to repair it for free. Hopefully it will work properly when I get it back.

It might just be a bad one. It does happen.

Yes, I think it is a bad one. I have had other laptops in the past, but they all lasted longer than 2 months.
