AC –
Nice review. Do you know what the make/model of the wireless AC card is? And is it a combo WiFi/Bluetooth card?

Danijel Z –
Right now I’m confused about Wi-Fi cards in the Lenovo U530. All available models are claimed to have Intel 7260 card, but there are multiple versions of it. Some are listed with support for b/g/n 802.11 standards, while some are claimed to additionally support 802.11ac. So, info in the specs sheet on this page is maybe incorrect. It’s possible that the ac version is just a revision of the b/g/n variant, but I’m not sure if it means a driver update adds ac support on top of b/g/n. Anyway, it’s best to directly ask your laptop seller about the Wi-Fi card. By the way, all U530 models are listed with Bluetooth 4.0.
