Lenovo revealed that two out of four LaVie Z 360 modes do not function correctly and that they are giving a five percent discount from the original price because of the flaws.
One of the flaws is experienced when the LaVie Z 360 is turned on under the "tent" mode, Consumer Reports wrote. Its screen does not automatically rotate which means that the images remain upside down.
Lenovo's letter of appeal responded to the matter by explaining that a user could use Windows commands in fixing the problem.
Another Lenovo mistake is when the device is on a "stand" mode, its keyboards do not deactivate automatically like it should.
The letter also explained that "A user may be okay in Stand Mode with LaVie Z lying flat on a table, but if it were on your lap for example, the keys may depress and once again cause an unsatisfactory user experience."
Despite flaws, Lenovo is not planning to reschedule shipment dates. The devices will be sent out according to the original schedule, but everything will be five percent off the original price. Also, Lenovo is already in the process of changing the company's LaVie Z 360 sales page so it could only advertise its laptop and tablet modes.
Lavie Z 360 is manufactured with the use of magnesium-lithium alloy chassis with a back cover material that is 50 percent lighter that how much aluminum weighs. When Lenovo launched the device, the company said that it is the world's lightest ultrabook, yet, Tech Radar reported. It is packed with 128GB SSD, 4 GB RAM, Intel Core i5 processor, and LED display with WQHD feature.
