Download the driver again if possible to make sure the file size is same. QUOTE for Q1 i dont know, for Q2, yes you can request for extended warranty. 3 years warranty cost extra rm300++. and you need to buy from the seller itself. Just go LYP where shops selling the model and don't expect to get unbeatable price, if you think it's reasonable, just go for it. Extended warranty can go through shops/sales agent. You can call Lenovo CC to get info on shops around your area which they do sell the warranty pack too.

It's better to go there rather than asking us because we can't predict whether they have stock or not. They are all selling retail price for sure so do negotiate till you think it's reasonable. If not happy, turn to other shops, no hard feelings.

hmm... after reading 16 pages about reformatting with bloat-ware free installation method. I still don't know how to do it. Forgive me for i have only started getting interested in computers both software and hardware not too long ago. I am really interested in y460. I'm not bothered by the heat as much as the effects of high temperature to the laptop (eg. shorter shelflife). Where can i get someone to do a good & clean installation that kills off the bloat-wares w/o disabling all the touch features and OKR?
Added on May 4, 2010, 1:51 amAlso, is it possible to manually uninstall ALL bloat-ware w/o reformatting or clean installation?

Past Tests» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Was in office using ATI as main GC to do my work(no games, rendering involved). [attachmentid=1536955][attachmentid=1536952] I was doing some internet browsing and word processing while transferring some 182GB of files. The GPU was doing 59-60C most of the time and CPU was 54-55C. the max CPU temp 67C occurred rather short moment like few secs and it just drop back to usual 55C. The 2nd picture was taken ~3 mins after file transfer was complete. After that, CPU kept ave 49-50C and GPU 52-54C throughout the day.

Played Assassin's Creed II last night using 1280x720 w/ all max settings. I'm using my 22 inch LCD as main screen though. (Can't use 1680x1050, too heavy lol or 1366x768 as no selection) Smooth as average more than 30FPS for sure. Most recent games are definitely playable using HD5650. Lagging while gaming is letting you know you need to lower some settings like AA, resolution, graphic details etc. Just don't expect it to have all smooth gaming as it's a mid range GC only.

@leng2 It's my own laptop, of course it's meant for 'work', hehe  . Hardly play games these days coz not many titles attract my taste except a few. Heard the new Splinter Cell came out so that will be on my list too.
