I thought only P67 and H67 based motherboard only are affected.
The acer, lenovo and hp are HM65. I don't think they are affected.

Im using Lenovo Y560p btw. Hopefully nthg........

They are not sure if they are gonna replace it cause if they replace them they will suffer a loss of around 700 million US dolalrs...read from an article.

Right now intell is producing a new chipset version of the i7 to replace the old one.

The flaw of the chip is the material....the silicon.

Since Samsung offered to replaced their laptop for free do you think Lenovo will???
Can't seem to find any news on their website bout this.

so are the processors in Laptops affected???

sry i meant chipsets.......will the chipsets in the laptops be affected. I read some article claming only desktops models are affected and other articles claiming all models sold after 9th Jan have problems

Lenovo says "customers who purchased affected PCs to receive a system board replacement free-of-charge"
Wooohooo. My Y560P is gonna be replace with a new mobo...but dunno when and where la


anyways, here are the products that is affected
Ideapad laptop - Y460P, Y560P, Z570, G470, G570, V370, V470, V570, B470, B570
IdeaCentre desktop - K330, K330A, B520

Hmmm I wonder when the OEM in Malaysia will start to recall the laptops cause we might be using the affected laptop and it will start to the degrade the performance of our HDD and Dvd drive. Plus...will they replace the HDD and Dvd Drive???

yea kinda true unless the OEM does not want us to be threatened by this issues. But i doubt that....they rather save more money by only changing the mobo

ivy bridge is 20% much faster than the Sandy Bridge.Ivy Bridge support directX 11 and SB support directX 10. Its not really a replacement...more like a new model. They are gonna release it maybe on July, End of this year or early next year.

omg really great news from Acer. They offered to pick the laptops up themself from ur doorstep. And the best they provide full refund!!! OMG

Wonder if lenovo will do the same. Cause i was really thinking of asking for refund for my y560p and get the Asus N53SN istead...

btw the N53SN is a GDDR3 or GDDR5????

RAM is DDR3 la not GDDR3

im asking bout the GPU

Added on February 10, 2011, 4:57 pmKinda feel really worried now. Acer has already annouce that they are gonna pick up and change mobo and give 2 other option. Asus to the same also and reset warranty. But lenovo only said they aware bout this issue and only provide mobo swap and will update us soon.....and that was like 10 days ago.

No updates from Lenovo?? dam, no wonder they are falling behind.
Maybe through this issue we can really determine ourself which company privide great after sales service. So far Asus has kept up to their promise and now Acer is like rising. But lenovo.....no updates yet also. Just annocement

I hope they Lenovo will also reset warranty but im worried. I go to their support page and update my warranty from when i bought it in Jan. But my warranty status still says that it will follow from when the laptop was manufactured which is late Dec. They din update my warranty~!!!!
Lenovo im starting to hate you now

stop already la due to this issue. I think they will continue shipping during March.
If you are lucky you can find it in a store now???

yea kinda feel this "person" is a robot, lol. Well he might be

Omg im starting to imagine all the hassle im gonna face with Lenovo. They don't provide pickup from your doorsteps service like Acer.
Anybody know where the nearest service center is in Subang Jaya??? I feel like asking them when the repacements parts are coming.
Also should I ask them to add a thermal compund on my laptop???And how much are they gonna charge me?? I having some temp problems when I was playing high graphic games and the temp shoot up to 95C++. Very scared la

Place on a cooler also like that. Some more place the fan directly facing the vent under my laptop

You sure or not??I thought 80C++ is normal.
I think i should add some thermal compound. How much would it cost??

why do you say lucky u din choose SB laptop. Its actually better. When you not using ur ATI or Nvidia GPU it will automaticly switch to the intergrated graphic and it will save tons of power. SB is way much more better and faster than the old wan.
Just incase u dunno, the integrated GPU and a Main GPU can be found in most laptops. So technically they have 2 GPU. 1 for power consumtion and the other for other heavy apps

FYI la.....only 5%-15% of customers will only feel some diff during 3 years. In some very rare cases only la, really rare.....it happens immedieately
