Had my lenovo thinkpad bricked by sleep mode in linux. Never again. Seriously overrated stuff. Get a laptop with 3:2 display instead.

  It still has issues with sleep still. It just borks the wi-fi now. Need a restart to use the internet again.

  How did that happen?

    Went to sleep, while powered. Never woke up.

  Which Thinkpad model is that? A quick Web search shows examples from more recent models with any OS.

    This was a ThinkPad X1 Carbon (4th Gen).

  Doubt it was the thinkpad's fault. Sleep and bluetooth is still a shitshow on linux.

    Well, software should not be able to destroy hardware.

  Unlikely that it is actually bricked. I had an issue with the T14 Gen 1 AMD that if the battery was fully drained by S3 sleep, I couldn't charge it with the Lenovo charger anymore. However, using a MacBook charger it charged fine.

    No, it was bricked. Connected to mains at the time. Tried to reset it with a needle. Then unscrewed it. All components were glued. Googled around, and it has happened to other people. I think lenovo bought the brand and design, then just cut costs. I was traveling at the time. Mayor inconvenience.
