Lenovo said there are problems with the wifi in laptops built before 7/23. Is there a way to check manufactured date before purchasing?

There are problems with the wifi after that date also... I have purchased one with manufacture after that date and it is still unstable. Their suggestion of changing drivers does not solve the issue either. Best solution I have heard is to get a low profile external usb wifi card and just use that. Costs about $15 and solves a bunch of headaches with trying to get Lenovo to admit to and fix the issue.

I own this model and I'm having the WiFi issue Asus is no help their website is useless and the customer service is poor. I will reply when I figure it out, updating the driver did nothing and upgrading to WinDos 10 same.

Yes this is true. But it is not from Lenovo. It is the Wi-fi device itself. I have owned many kinds of laptops with the 7260 N Wi-Fi adapter and no matter what you do, You'll always have issues with it depending on your situation. My best advice is to either return the laptop or upgrade that adapter to a 7260ac wifi.

I know that mine had that date but I am not positive on if the others will have that date as well. Maybe you should try to contact the seller before you buy just to verify.

Hi, Mine didn't work, Paid Lenovo $59 for tech support- they could not get it to work- they said there was no driver for it! Never gave me my $59 back like they said they would if they could not get it to work. Wrote many complaints on this Amazon site- NO RESPONSE!!! JUNK

Dear friend; I have not use the warranty never. I have been a lucky man with it. The warranty is for one year through Lenovo.

Mark, I have no idea. The thing went belly up on me within a month and I returned it to Amazon and got an Asus. Lenovo refused to replace it because I hadn't bought it through them.

I ordered mine last week and got it Monday. I couldn't find the date on the package (I believe it was under a sticker) but it was among the defective. I just mailed it back for replacement yesterday, however I may have an interesting bit of information Asus would be interested in... after I get my replacement I may be posting a video on YouTube about it...

Me Too! Same one, N53SV-XE1. Bought mine on 3/30/3011. But it hasn't shipped yet. And the site says the product is NOW unavailable... I really hope they can make it happen, I can't find it for the same price ANYWHERE!

@Christopher. I asked one of the many eBay vendors offering this item with the March 11 ship date if he was going to be able to fulfill the March 11th date he claimed. He said yes but that he was way oversold on the item and that Asus was way under-prepared to fulfill the demand. Because of that I went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon hoping that I would be able to get one. Nothing on Newegg either.Please let us know if you get your order fulfilled. Good luck.Cort

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

you can call lenovo to find out. I do know you will save couple of hundreds dollars compare with buying at China.

Okay so I got the N53SV-XE1 today and everything seems to be in order. The manufacture date is in February and it had a sticker on the side that said "current revision certified", so I'm sure it's not affected barring taking apart the back and getting the chipset serial. It's back up on Amazon now too, which is also a good sign. Review forthcoming once I have more time to play with it. :)

The one i received was not in Lenovo packaging. The box was generic, as was the documentation. The battery itself had what appeared to be Lenovo markings, and LOOKED like it could be legit. After 1 cycle and a bios update, the battery stopped showing a charge (actually I think it stopped communicating with the computer)and was returned to the vendor. it was almost certainly a counterfeit item.I bought another battery from another site and it shipped in full Lenovo regalia, Printed box, printed security tape, hologram seals, full professional documentation etc. If your doesn't have these, it's probably not a real Lenovo item.
