    Hi,

    I have a Lenovo Y570 and was wondering if the Tyco aftermarket antennas are better than factory antennas and worth the upgrade (buying not installing).

    Thanks in advance,

    I don't have a y570, but I tried them on a sandy bridge hp dv6. I place them next to the stock, and the performance is pretty close according to inssider.

    So unless the stock is crap, I don't think you will see much improvement. Though they are pretty cheap if you want to experiment with them.
