Lenovo to cough up $100 refunds, $250 vouchers to settle IdeaPad suit

From InfoWorld: Lenovo will refund $100 or issue a $250 voucher to owners of the IdeaPad U310 and U410 laptops to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging design defects in the computers.

The U310 and U410 laptops, which shipped in 2012, had defects that caused Wi-Fi to slow down or not work. Complaints about Wi-Fi in the laptops have piled up over the years and flooded the company's forums.

Notices about the settlement agreement were sent starting this month. Customers can visit the settlement website to sign up and to get more details on the terms.

The class-action settlement was agreed to by Lenovo and plaintiff Garrett Kacsuta and others, and filed Aug. 22 with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division.

"You may be entitled to settlement benefits if you purchased either a Lenovo Ideapad model U310 computer or Lenovo Ideapad model U410 computer," the parties said in a notice on the settlement website.
