I have a 9370 and never had any problems with the WiFi. I've connected it to lots of home networks, coffee chops, etc.

Reception is perfect, even better than the Intel card my previous latptop had.

(running Fedora Linux out-of-the-box btw)




Maybe I should try Fedora. The Killer WiFi continues to be a problem for me. (Debian Buster with 4.19 kernel and firmware downloaded from the Killer github account.) My uptime is 25 minutes right now because I had to reboot. I restored WiFi when it dropped earlier but the next time the restore process locked up the machine solid (as in hold the power button until it shuts down. Occasionally the Bluetooth disappears and requires a complete power down to restore. BT is on the same Killer module.

I don't know if it is drivers, firmware or my AP but it truly sucks. One really annoying aspect in an otherwise very nice machine. (9370, BTW.)


how's the trackpad?


The best I ever had. Me previous laptop was a VAIO and a MacBook Air (no Force Touch yet) before that one. The trackpad is a little bit better than the MBA's and a lot better than the one from the VAIO.
