[Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]

 

William,
There are a few bizarre things about the new 40 series. I agree. They even removed the HDD light, no physical switches for wifi and no charging indicator when computer is off... I use it with an external screen and keyboard at home so keyboard isn't an issue for me.
The T430 I use at work has all of them (charging light, HDD light and physcial wifi switch). I like the T430,  that's why I devoted to a Lenovo and only to find out after opening the box about those bizzare things.
They are no big issues, though and after a while you get used to it. It's a decent laptop. The most I liked about is Lenovo's heat dissipation much better that the HP I had before! Fan barely comes on even with heavy use!
