Well, depends on how brave you are …

I’ve replaced the keyboard on my IdeaPad Flex 5 … removing plastic rivets and replacing them with superglue isn’t fun but it’s holding up great so far …

One of the display hinges crumbled (or, rather, the plastic mount it was screwed into), I repaired it with heavy-duty epoxy … the screen is held in the bezel with adhesive clay.

The laptop has been heavily used over the last 4 years, including many on-stage shows … so I wouldn’t call it unreliable, and it was ridiculously cheap for what it is … so I wouldn’t call it junk …

Interesting, Lenovo must have a wide spread over their product range, then … at least quite a few of their products are amongst the top scorers on iFixit repeairability scores … changing the keyboard on my IdeaPad was a different story, though 😅
