Did I fuck up buying this laptop?
I bought Lenovo E490 for 150$ for internet browsing. Often when I press the power button it doesn't turn off, althought when I put it away and then plug it back it rarely does turn on. The ethernet port sometimes doesn't work (only after turning off and on the laptop). I'm not even sure what's wrong with this laptop, does it have a defective or heavily worn motherboard, buttons, ports. Even my old cheap HP with a broken hinge, dead glitchy keyboard and motherboard sticking out from the chassis from 2012 doesn't have such problems. Should I exchange it for something better?

Yes, indeed.
The only laptop worth purchasing at this point is the framework, and even that's a stretch.
Honestly we should all just be touching grass at this point.

What about Dynabook, formerly Toshiba?
They're pretty based.

I had my experience with an E series Thinkpad, it was physically falling apart after 3 years of office use.

No, u didn't fuck up.
I don't know what kind of errors you have, but I can see that Windows 10 is installed, its EOL.
>Just install Linux (Bluefin/Aurora) for secure browsing and auto Updates. You can also play some cool indie Games on it, older Triple A titles and Emulation. + You will find all of the stuff and more in the Appstore. Trust me, it's cozy af and a cool new Hobby.

Yes. You should only buy T or X. Should have read the general first, nigger.

if you are going to buy a 150 dollar laptop prepare to install linux on.
if you expect to run windows 11 on it you are an idiot

windows fags shouldn't buy 150 dollar laptops
they will end up regretting it. 150 dollar laptops run only when you install linux on them
