I just bought my Lenovo G470 ytd at PC FAIR.. Everything is ok, but there is one thing that bugs me is that the wireless speed of this laptop, the speed is always range between 24mbps - 36mbps, even though i'm sitting just right beside my modem, the speed is very slow and it some how irritates me, any idea why is it like that and how to fasten it ? even my HP MINI that I got from TM has a speed of 54mbps when i'm quite far from the modem.

Wah what internet you use internet speed until 54mb, unifi max only 20 mbs ,i think because the network is use by a lot of people ,its using wifi right?

dude your getting 24mbps - 36mbps...isn't that very fast??
i only get less then 1mbps

i suppose he's talking abt WiFi...

driver updated?

haha! I think what he meant is the speed at his home network.. between the modem n his laptop.. wired LAN could transmit 100Mbps.. wireless depend normally 54mbps..some wireless card could go 108mbps..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! i'm talking about the wireless speed

Power mode switch to high performance?

Hi, where is the PC Fair?

Here are the 3 variants of the Lenovo G470, do make sure you get the one with the correct specs:
G470, i3-2310M + Intel HD3000@RM1599, FreeDOS
G470, i5-2410M + Intel HD3000@RM1999
G470, i5-2410M + AMD HD6370@RM2299

I've seen the real things myself.... and I'm very impressed... Design is very good for a budget laptop at this price range.. Doesn't look cheap at all...
And the keyboard and touchpad, good.. Its good to see that the ergnomic Lenovo keyboards are available in almost all new Lenovo units (They even have external keyboards with that layout, typist do look out for them hehe)
The design is good, looks slim at 1st glance, but if you look throughly, its quite thick haha
I would say its a good lappy, but you might want to extend the warranty for peace of mind

really? can't say its hardware failure. it jz feel slow on browsing. btw, can change the card ha?

Can, if you can get it...

buy, change it. easy but where want to find it and how to change it, prob liao
