Sorry about the delay. I changed jobs and got married, and mainly just forgot about the wireless card.

Anyways, as others have already pointed out, it does work:

And, I didn't notice this until I posted; It says "no internet connectivity" but certainly DOES connect to the internet.... not really sure what is going on with that

Windows 8 is great on my y400. I'm not a fan of the MetroUI, but w8 boots much faster for me.

Plus: Netflix app. enough said.

Is there anyway to do with without having access to a mac to begin with? the instructions show everything done through the app store and Disk Utility in OSX

Will Do, Now I just have to get my 5 post minimum (newbie requirement) so that I can download attachments on posts, then I'll let you know my findings!

epicepe is right, the powerbrick supplies more power than the battery can.

Hey team,

As soon as I get around to flashing my BIOS, I plan to buy the following wireless card:Newegg.com - Intel 7260HMW IEEE 802.11AC, dual-band, 2x2 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth 4.0 Mini PCI Express combo Adapter - 867 Mbps+300Mbps - Internal

Can anyone tell me if the 5GHz range will work with the existing antennas?

I've seen people upgrade to DualBand 802.11N cards, but can't find if anyone has confirmed that the 5GHz range actually works. 5GHz is necessary for 802.11ac.

Thanks in advance

I'd suggest making a 'RAMDisk' for frequently overwritten files (browser cache) to give you more longevity. That being said, if you are planning on using it for gaming, more than likely you aren't being held back by your HDD
