Hello. I don't see many recent intros from new members. Does anyone still read this forum? In any case I just joined so I could download some Y510P BIOS hacks. Thank you peeps for those nice mods. I'm not that much of a gamer...but I like to use gaming laptops for the cybersecurity consulting gigs I work on. Am from the Baltimore/DC area and I do consulting for the feds and various other companies. I need to have a fast laptop with a smooth and awesome keyboard and I haven't found one better than the Y510P.

It's not necessary to purchase practice routers. Download GNS3 and then download some Cisco IOS profiles and you can build a free virtual network with free virtual routers to practice on that are just like the real think. There are some good labs at GNS3 vault. It's a very cool virtual networking tool. Build your own fake lab network become a CCNA.
