    The other day I noticed that my screen sometimes flickers, not badly, but it seems as if the computer is being slightly vibrated. Is this something normal, or something I should/can contact lenovo about getting repaired

    LCD does not flicker, something is wrong w/ your screen. Probably the backlight is bad. Call them up and see what they could do.

    Also try increasing your refresh rate from 50Hz -> 60Hz.
