Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i - any issues?

Hi there,

Just got this laptop: https://www.microcenter.com/product/691951/lenovo-ideapad-slim-3i-153-laptop-computer-cosmic-blue

The installation seemed to go fine, but after I enter my disk encryption password, it stalls out before getting to user login (progress bar fully loads and then just sticks there after entering disk password).

I’ve been drilling ChatGPT about this but don’t seem to be making any headway…

I can’t seem to find a reason this isn’t working, but I read that newer Ideapads may have some issues and I want to ensure I’m not banging my head against a wall here.

Thank you for any help!

After or during disk encryption password entering hit ESC - you will see console and what’s going on.
