Lenovo IdeaPad Z585 261724U 15.6-Inch Laptop (Grey Metal) Review

First, let me point out by saying that I absolutely hate the wifi on this laptop. The signal is so poor and the connectivity to my router is nearly non-existant unless I'm within 10 feet of it! Apparently, the lower end Lenovo laptops made within the last year are suffering from wifi connectivity problems, all of them, not just this one. I had the manager at Fr y s, electronics test out three other laptops and they all had the identical signal problem while the HP laptop we had right next to them connected to the router without issue. This laptop's wifi is unusable and I believe half of the reason is that for some reason, Lenovo decided to offer this laptop with two Wifi Antenna configurations. Most laptops with integrated Wifi have the antennas placed at the top of the screen for best Wifi signal but on this laptop, and many others, they're selling it with the antenna placed in the base. You can test for this by lifting a laptop off the table when using it and see if the signal improves.

But not withstanding the Wifi problems and the trackpad that easily makes itself looked aged about three years within the first 10 minutes of usage, I have to say I really like the laptop. The sound quality is very good, the processor and video performance is excellent, I like that the GPU provides acceleration to firefox to make web pages load faster, the flash video acceleration makes 1080p videos playback with low CPU usage (useful if hooked up to tv) I like the many adjustments available for the fan speed/noise control, I like how the laptop feels sturdy, the keyboard is excellent to type on, the screen is decent though I'd prefer one with a higher resolution like 1920X1200.

I also like that despite what Lenovo says, the laptop actually supports 16GB of memory, just like AMD's chipset specifications imply. (I know because I installed 16GB of ram without a hitch!)
I paid $480 for this laptop making it a very very good deal but because this laptop is for a friend who plans to use the laptop exclusively on WiFi, even at this price point, this is a dealbreaker. Using an External Wifi USB was of no help either as the signal was much worse than what the laptop came with. I have 8 year old laptops that provide much more usable WiFi signal and connectivity than this laptop. I hate to give this laptop back as it was on sale despite just being released but unless lenovo offers a repair for the poor wifi, it looks like its my only choice.
