New laptop

[Bob Loblaw]

I have Lenovo Y500. Great laptop HOWEVER:

 

 

The wireless card is shit.

 

I disabled 802.11n mode in the adapter settings and it seems to have helped, but I still lag sometimes.

 

I sent my laptop in because I thought I had a faulty one, but the second one I received still had the same issues (random HUGE spikes in ping).

 

Aside from that I have no complaints about this laptop really.

Good battery life, looks really good, great specs for the cost.

 

I was considering buying a replacement wireless card, (and at some point I still might) but installing it yourself means you aren't covered by warranty if you fuck it up. But disabling 802.11n mode has done enough good for me that I don't really deem it necessary, but it's still not perfect.

 

 

e: I don't have sli version so I can't comment on that.

Do you know anything about the Y510?

I have that laptop as well since I got out of boot so around april?

I honestly love it but I have to say I have encountered the same issues with the wireless. Unfortunately that's all navy bases work of so my internet experience has not been great. Runs games smooth tho. I love the backlite key board for low light rooms. Hate windows 8. Overall I dont regret it.

 

I will try what bob said tho. maybe just get a dongle down the road. Also has a usb plugg that stays on as long as there is bettery life. Its convenient when your outlets are limited or you only have the usb cable for your phone.

I just bought the Lenovo Y510p since it was actually cheaper than the Y500 this week.

Ganzta already bought his new laptop, there's no need to keep updating this thread.
