While it works okay via an Ethernet cable to the router, the
Wi-Fi just plain sucks. Sometimes it
connects, most of the time it fails. On
the rare occasions that it does connect, more often than not it loses the
Internet connection or moves slower than a 300-baud modem.
I’ve worked on Microsoft products since the beginning; I am
not a novice. I’ve owned more PC and
laptop brands than I care to remember. I
updated every piece of software (and drivers) and I’ve run every
diagnostic. I’ve Googled the web for
answers and all I find is a large group of people with the same problem(s) and
no fix. This has been a big waste of
time and money. Bill Gates should go
out, purchase a few of these laptops, and see for himself what a wonderful
piece of crap Windows 8 truly is.
In case you are wondering, my wife’s old Toshiba (with the broken hinges) on Windows 7 still works fine on the Wi-Fi, as does my MacBook
Pro. Something is hinky in Windows 8 and
my best advice is to avoid it as you would a syphilitic blind date.
