memory :16 ram

os: windows 10 pro 1709 (os build  16299.309)

    I believe he means to show the speed discrepancy from the same location and not

    that the speed is only slow when next to the ThinkPad.

    Hi,

    Based on your description, it seems that there is an interference between your Surface Laptop and your Lenovo ThinkPad. Have you considered connecting  your Surface device to the same WiFi connection, but away from your Lenovo device? We will be waiting for your update.

    Thanks.
