Will my Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 be unusable on Dec 31, 2025 or require a repair by then? For the market to resolve 100% YES, the computer must fail to boot up while plugged in and fully charged. A partial resolution will occur if something happens which highly hinders my use of the computer. I will avoid betting in this market.
