Hate? No. It all comes down to the almighty dollar, which Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo seem to have plentiful sums of.

Sit on it and wait until consumer adoption is larger, prices will drop significantly. Look at the new Vizio 4K TV's as an example. Extremely affordable for what it offers.

Never gave a second thought to my wireless card in the y580 (always hardwired) until I moved recently and started using wireless. I wasn't aware that such an awful card accompanied this laptop. All my devices were receiving the 5ghz signal from my Asus router except for the most expensive, seemingly most advanced of all: the Y580. Also ran into problems with the 2200's compatibility with certain Linux OS's.

So I decide to buy a new card and find that there's a whitelist? This type of proprietary garbage should be unlawful. If I wanted to buy specific/limited hardware, I would have bought a Mac.

Now on to the unnecessary time waste of modding my BIOS. Next time I think I'll skip over Lenovo when dropping $1300 on a laptop.

Came here just for this. Thank you very much for the info!
