I am scared of Lenovo, NGL.

 
Exceptions do happen... But yes, an enquiry from friends about their personal experience should be good.
 
I had a cheap Lenovo laptop back in 2014. It cost 35k back then and whole thing fell apart and broke after 2 years because the build quality was utter trash. Then I brought Asus FX553 back in 2018 for 60k and its hinge broke and body cracked a few months ago.

Finally I got my Legion 5Pi 1-2 months ago for 129k which while expensive doesn't have a single scratch so far. The build quality on this feels far more amazing and I do expect it to last quite a bit longer, haven't had any issue so far.

I would say if you are going for a laptop under 65k, avoid gaming laptops if you don't want to game. Gaming laptops under that price point have cheap build quality from my experience. Get a thin and light with metal build instead.
 
I don't game at all. It's just for executive work, designing and to be used as a live view during photoshoots.
 
For me it was the PSU. Garbage capacitors don't act right in cold. Had to warm it up with a hair dryer.
Got a corsair 80plus Bronze PSU. No problem anymore.
 
Was this ever fixed? Mine won't turn on in the morning, started a few days ago. Tried reseating cmos, holding the power button, shorting the power pins on the mb. If I unplug everything and wait for a few minutes, plug everything back it'll boot.
 
What psu do you have? Can you try with another one?
