Not sure I'd classify Lenovo as a durable good in the strictest sense of the word.
I know many who overpayed for a Lenovo laptop only to find, it was intentionally made incompatible with Linux (microcontrollers between core components), the firmware updates from a legitimate source would brick the battery charger, the hardware under limited use would fail within the warranty period (1 year, from GPU overheating), and a number of other issues.
I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this, and my experience has been common based on what others have said. This has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with quality of product that was released at a premium price. They made their sales initially, but they burned their brand down in the process.

- Krisjohn 3y agoLenovo have a problem with their USB C ports. Durability is not good enough for them to be the only source of power. Daily plugging and unplugging breaks them eventually. Accidentally pulling the cable sideways breaks them quickly. We stopped selling them a year or two ago.
- antisthenes 3y agoLenovo lost me as a customer when I tried to order a laptop from them, their garbage website refused to work (some random error during the checkout process). I contacted their support for help and to check stock. Never heard back. Several months later they begin spamming me with marketing emails and feedback about how much I'm enjoying my purchase (???). Not giving them a single cent after that experience.
