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!

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.

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

This is the worst company I've ever dealt with. I always loved my Hp's, dunno why the f I switched. Brand new laptop and breaks down after 2 months. They say I have to send it to them for a month. Terrible customer service all around.

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.
@TheHopelessGeek9 ай бұрын
Yeah, the vantage itself is kinda useful. It has battery conservation and monitoring features. The extra "optimisation" part is not worth it.

Lenovo software became garbage. And I don't see any update of lenovo vantage software. The last patch was maybe too old. Maybe they stopped working in this software.

I had never heard of Lenovo Smart Lock before this. 😅 They have so many supplementary apps! I suspect it'll be a similar experience to this.
