The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Is there a way to get the laptop to NOT disable LAN or wireless connectivity when it goes into stand by? I may be doing a large download and would like it to keep going instead of dropping all network connections.

    no. you may close the lid without forcing the laptop into standby but there's no way you can download while in standby (the standby mode lowers the power consumption of the book)
