Good laptops with no gigabit lan,why?

[whitestar_999]

Just search any laptop brand with reasonable/budget price & chances are if it is good in all other aspects it will not have gigabit lan.most ppl don't think about the concept of bottleneck in situation like this.imagine you got a 1tb usb 3.0 hdd filled with good stuff from a friend & want to copy it into your desktop with 2tb hdd but no usb 3.0 port.no problem,you say as your new budget laptop has usb 3.0 port so you start copying from laptop to desktop only to realize that 100mbps lan of your laptop is 60% slower than even usb 2.0 port.even the basic pc mobo comes with gigabit lan nowadays but not many 30k laptops,isn't this confounding.

G50-70 - Ideapad - Laptops | Lenovo India | The DO Store

Gigabit LAN is unfortunately unavailable

if a laptop has gigabit lan in this price range it will be a highlighted feature on product's official page.

Both flipkart and lenovo India lack detailed specifications sometimes.

I see but many good models from asus in 11.6" size & hp models in 14/15.6" size with similar configuration & sometimes better screen have no gigabit lan.

My cousin has ages old Sony laptop, and I've been able to achieve transfer rate of ~55MB/s with him over LAN. Another cousin got a vaio, and the same setup got us ~9MB/s.

Edit:
Does this mean my laptop has Gigabit Ethernet capability?

B40 and B50 do provide the 10/100/1000M LAN. But the fact is that fk sometimes shorten the specs.
