I see someone already commented nearly EXACTLY what I was going to tell you... THANK YOU for being such a wonderful, tactful, clear & concise communicator! I greatly appreciate your explanations and opinions being so logical (with humor as well!) I was somewhat skeptical about the Lenovo Smart Performance product and am very glad I found YOUR VIDEO when searching for a professional's opinion on its value. While watching your video and learning about their problems with doing something as easy as processing payments, I thought, "if they can't even design a method of processing payments, how on earth can they be capable of improving the safety and performance of my computer?" I am your newest subscriber and will look to you from now on FIRST when looking for answers to computer-related questions! You are really awesome and I'm grateful you've chosen to SHARE your talent and knowledge with us out here! 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👍👍👍

Great questions and suggestions. Yes, can also relate to car mechanics saying you need something done but you don't notice anything wrong with what they're saying. Mechanic said I need new rear shocks. There's no oil leaking or performance change whatsoever with the shocks. I'm waiting on that one. Damn dentist said I needed this and that done too. 3 years later, my teeth are fine. Bunch of bogus money making scammers. Many different kinds, watch out!

I like my Lenovo Ideapad, but this is an unecessary monetization. The lack of transparency even makes you think that they are trying to scam their customers.

LENOVO Vantage feels like LENOVO DISADVANTAGE. When you compare other services from competitors. Many have free where you scan and fix issues. But they let you know the issues are. I have an older Dell G5 5587 and it does scanning and fixing for free and tells me what it did. I get this Lenovo S7 and I'm like happy that it's smaller and a better travel option but man the software sucks.

Thank you for this, I nearly wasted my money! I’m at a loss, my lenovo ideapad 320 is so slow, barely used in the 5 years I’ve had it. It’s not got much on it, cleaned disc, swu done but can’t get windows 11 and disk defrag. Is there anything you can advise to speed it up please ? 🙏

I'm not too familiar with that particular device, but you may want to take a look at your task manager and see what could be taking up a lot of resources. If it's the OS itself being bloated, perhaps installing a Linux OS into your machine as a dual boot configuration may be better. Linux distributions are much lighter and faster than Windows ones, especially for dated hardware 🙂👍🏽

I'm glad I did some searching before I bought anything. I saw a reddit thread talking about this (this is where i found a link to thise video) and everyones scan result put the computer at a 7, just like mine, so that alone is sketchy, hence why i did research on this. So glad I'm not buying it.

I think it is worse than that, they purposely hinder your performance. When you pay they restore it to the real specs. My lenovo is crashing when gaming without reason, i am at 200+fps then instant crash. I will never pay them to fix my pc, i will go to a local it guy.

MOST, and I do mean MOST, at least consumer-level security and performance "tools" and "suites" are just a bunch of useless garbage that actually takes up a lot of resources on your computer while claiming to free it up. Very bloated, always accessing the hard drive, making the CPU work pretty hard, and for basically nothing but to be just as vulnerable. And I repeat - the "speed" they offer is usually offset by how bloated and resource intensive a lot of these products are. I still remember the "Norton" suite... I remember purging it from my system for no other reason than to make the damn machine run about twice as fast (a decade ago, never used software like that since). Yes, there ARE good products out there like the host mentioned. But be very wary, and you won't find those in the computer boutique store, let's just say... Think "something that a small startup might use." Oh, and of course, the best solution is to actually understand performance and security yourself (it can absolutely be done DIY, not without risk), and then just using tools to streamline that process. Frankly, computers should never have bundled software to begin with. All the stuff you never want, but will slow down your computer like dropping anchor on a ship. Sorry but I think I had a lot of that bottled up waiting to erupt. Thanks for letting me vent, and thanks for the vid.

Lol when i bought my lenovo t5 the first thing i did was look around all these things because its my first pc. And the pc was new out the box and it had issues. I tired to buy it before and well i couldn't and the customer service didn’t help me at all, made a new account because the old one just showed a blank page without the buy button and i couldn't put a new account because the app will say that i used another account to buy this and i had to switch back. Boi the. Customer service people didn't even know what a smart performance was.

Is it possible that you do not notice any change in performance of your device because of the Lenovo Smart Performance that you purchased? Perhaps the software is improving your system, so the system is continuing to perform well. I'm tempted to purchase it for myself. Its only $30 (USD) for 1 year. I do agree that Lenovo should disclose exactly what was fixed.

Hm.. maybe. I doubt it. Many others have shared similar experience. But one person mentioned that it helped their old system a lot. So it may make a bigger difference on older laptops

Moral of the story: if you really wanted to buy a Lenovo PC, avoid using Lenovo Smart Performance. Like, at all. It's pointless and a waste of money. At least all Lenovo PCs comes with Lenovo Vantage, which is free to use and there's no subscription.

Yeah, the vantage itself is kinda useful. It has battery conservation and monitoring features. The extra "optimisation" part is not worth it.
