T14S are workhorses
I've got a story for you that truly highlights just how much of a workhorse the Lenovo T14s is, and frankly, how good Premier Support can be.
I'm the IT guy for our company, and one of our users, a lovely woman, is a very heavy smoker – specifically, she rolls her own. Now, I've seen some grimy laptops in my time, but this one took the biscuit. She brought in her T14s recently complaining of overheating and a seriously loud fan.
I opened it up, fully expecting some dust and maybe a bit of general muck. What I found, however, genuinely stunned me. The entire machine, particularly around the fan and heatsink, was absolutely choked with what I can only describe as roll-up tobacco. I'm talking actual strands and clumps of dried tobacco, densely packed in there. It looked like the laptop had been actively smoking along with her for months.
Despite this truly astonishing level of internal contamination, the T14s was still chugging along. Loudly, yes, and probably hotter than Hades, but it was still working. This thing had been inhaling tobacco like a chimney for who knows how long, and it just kept going. Unbelievable.
We obviously couldn't let it continue like that, so I called Lenovo Premier Support. And let me tell you, they were brilliant. They despatched an engineer who came out, took one look at my face as I explained the situation (and probably gagged a little internally when he saw the evidence), and got straight to it.
He completely stripped the machine down, meticulously cleaned out all the tobacco (a job I definitely didn't envy him for!), replaced the fan, reapplied new thermal paste, and even put on a brand-new bottom cover because the old one was... well, let's just say it had seen better, non-tobacco-infused days.
The laptop is now running like a dream – silent, cool, and no longer smelling like an old pub ashtray.
Some photos of the fan, this was after the engineer hoovered up about £20 of tobacco. Fan changed and working all good!
