User reviews
Used it for the first time. The Lenovo "rescue technician" gave instructions to follow. What she understood I do not know but she sounded quite satisfied. The application worked therefore it must be good. Though it took a lot of my time to get the system examined.

Very good appreciation. I came to know about this from the Lenovo customer care.
