    Can somebody help me - please.

    I’m having an issue with the adaptive brightness on my laptop. I cannot find how to disable it. It keeps dimming and getting brighter in different scenarios.

    I’ve searched on the Lenovo website, I’ve checked the Microsoft website. I’ve googled and googled and no answer. I’ve double checked all the drivers.

    I have no option available to me in the Display settings or even the Power settings (which one website suggests) to disable it.

    The picture will show that I possibly should have an option to switch it off but on my laptop/windows 10 pro - I don’t.

    Try method two here:
    https://troubleshooter.xyz/wiki/how-to-enable-or-disable-adaptive-brightness-in-windows-10/

    If not that, there is a thread here on how to fix it.

    very unimpressed with UPS tracking

    was to be delivered Wednesday, then tomorrow, now saying next Wednesday

    defeats the purpose of having tracking at all

    and obviously no way to contact them to complain

    its an industry that badly needs a shakeup tbh

    Ya it's a funny one the detailed timeline is allover the place too. They also had delivery for Tuesday when I checked it last night, now no expected delivery date. ðŸ˜
    Others on this thread seemed to receive it early so not too bothered here

    With anyone concerned about UPS, i'd call them.

    I had the same issue last week. It arrived in Dublin and then the tracking said there was an "Emergency Situation". I had to call them and eventually got my package.

    The issue was that, although Lenovo had printed my entire address on the package, including Eircode, when it arrived at UPS someone covered it over with a UPS label that had just my name and "Blanchardstown" as my address. No street name, no Eircode, just "Blanchardstown".

    The UPS label didn't have my phone number on it either so they probably wouldn't have called me (the Lenovo label did). They might have sent the package back, i'm not sure.

    It took a couple of days extra to get my package because I had "Requested an address change" but I got it eventually.

    UPS labelling can be a bit dodgy alright. I've had issues with packages being misdirected due to my full address not being on their label, despite been provided it by the sender. UPS also don't use eircodes.

    You'll be waiting a long time to get through on the phone, tweet them and you'll get a response.

    Has anyone seen their Expected Ship date change for the better - i.e sooner?
    Mine isn't due to ship until the 31st May - ordered off UK site, originally with metal palm rest.

    I ordered off the UK site too on April 25th. Original shipping date way May 28th. It changed to May 25th for a while and this week it went back to May 28th. I don't mind. I'm in no rush for it anyway.

    Good price but the German keyboard would be annoying

    It might appear on the Irish site tomorrow ,Germany seems to be the first region in Europe that they add new models.

    The screens on these lower-end Lenovos are pretty rubbish from what I've heard, very few go above 300 nits of brightness and you are stuck with a tn panel.

    Will probably spend a bit extra and go for the Yoga Line.

    May not be trolling, maybe he just hangs around with people who know nothing or perhaps due to social distancing he misheard, rather than heard.

    I suspect my own laptop is sharing a pallet with your one. Delivery now delayed until Friday, but still appears to be in Korea though.
    Anyway still have 3 weeks to go to meet the original delivery date of over 6 weeks from order date :)
    Hopefully they do not use Fastway for the last leg!

    :o you had a six week timeline for delivery when you ordered?
    I actually emailed UPS as I was worried the label was damaged or something. They were not forthcoming, just said it was delayed on the 22nd May and its still in transit. Thanks! :D Sadly I need the laptop for work, my current one is on its last legs.

    Yes 6 week timeline as it is not the original offer, but one with windows preinstalled and a second harddrive also. Am not under much pressure regarding delivery though, but would be nice to have it seeing as they have taken payment allready.

    Ah ok mine was 2-3 weeks when I ordered, gone a bit beyond that now. I missed the free-dos version by a few hours, but got the rewards shop discount as well as the discount code, so I'm very happy it's an amazing laptop spec for the price
