Keywords: 1 yr international warranty

OH NO! How can I spam my friends smoothly on FB now? Seriously.

I don't have any issue with my wifi (yet) since the router is abt 2-3m away from the laptop
Hopefully nothing happen if i move further

phewww thats a relief

Like I said, it's AFAIK... there must be cases where people dont have issues... but again, just because you didn't experience it, it isn't there... I experience it with both my Lenovo Y580 and my own built desktop connected with Asus WL-167GV3. My friend doesn't seem to experience it, but he's on Intel wifi card IINM.

My other friends, they use TPLink wifi adapter, still affected with both TM's Unifi router and TPLink router but under special condition only. And all this fiasco among us regarding the wifi starts after Win8 is rolled out.

I admit, some people does hit by the issue... some people dont, since it is affected by multiple factor... Like I said, I didn't get the problem as well when I'm in US, but once I come back to Malaysia I got hit by the issue. the only common thing about it is Windows 8. I've used the same laptop before I went to US on Win7, I didn't face a single problem with wifi connection.

and when I mention this issue, I tested it by ping the router it is connected to. When the problem arise, the ping is either dropped or more than 1 second, the connection to router is totally problematic. Now, there's few way that I find may temporarily resolve the issue. Your experience may vary.

1. Restart your router.
2. Restart your PC.
3. Remove the adapter from PC USB, connect it again.

So, if you do these often enough (AFAIK, as frequent as daily) you probably will never be hit by this issue.

guys, i have a question, i plan to get Y510p. I have an old crucial m4 ssd 128gb, can i just get a caddy and use it in place of the ODD? I heard it must be 9.5mm or something

okies it varies then.... AFAIK unifi routers is a piece of crap....

indeed it is a piece of crap... just good enough to do its job, and it is not even a job well done...

Thank you. I'll downgrade to Windows 7 in a few days. Will come back to report bout wifi connection.

bye2 not local set.. headache

hye guys is the service centre is only at lowyat?

Hi,

I will be using my laptop mostly for engineering-related software and works, and I also play games such as Dota2.

I'm in dilemma whether to buy the Y410P or Y510P. The specs of Y510P seems better than Y410P, and it comes with full HD screen the only downside for me is the 15" screen.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Yes, really headache.. IBM Service Center also did not want to help.
Calling Lenovo Helpline and ask them to help..
Don't know what can they do..

Becarefull of this reseller: http://www.mudah.my/li?ca=9_s&id=67336

They claim they have 1 year international warranty. But they are not.
They selling US set.. I forgot to check this forum before buy it..

They just ask me to buy new webcam and refuse to repair or change my laptop..

WTF!!

it is not the reseller fault..
here, normally US/AP set will have problem when comes to warranty claiming eventhough it have 1 year international warranty..
the problem is Lenovo Malaysia will not accept those warranty UNLESS you got official receipt from Lenovo US (correct me if i'm wrong)..
better spend extra bucks to buy Original Local set..

The reseller should say US/AP set will have problem when comes to warranty claiming eventhough it have 1 year international warranty..

If they say it.. It is ok with me.. But they don't mention it...

based on seller location, i think he is ajul

I dont know who he is.. But he should mention no warranty in Malaysia..

maybe they didn't know about it..LOL!
let this incident be a reminder to you..
